BABY SPINACH SALAD WITH DATES AND ALMONDS



Baby Spinach Salad With Dates and Almonds image

Sumac, a tart, deep-red spice, is a key ingredient for this recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi, which was featured in a Times article about his cookbook with Sami Tamimi, "Jerusalem." Procuring the spice may be the most challenging thing about this refreshing, well-balanced salad. The pita and almonds are cooked for a few minutes on the stovetop, but that is the only heat required. As for the sumac, it can be found at Middle Eastern groceries, in a well-stocked spice aisle or, as always, online.

Salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30 grams)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

MEDITERRANEAN COBB SALAD



Mediterranean Cobb Salad image

I'm a huge fan of taking classic dishes and adding some flair to them. I also like to change up heavier dishes, like Cobb salad. I've traded out typical chicken for crunchy falafel that's just as satisfying. - Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California
