Shanklish Salad image

Recipe from Andrew McConnell of Circa, The Prince, Melbourne. Shanklish is a Syrian or Lebanese cheese made from goat's or cow's milk, formed into orange-sized balls and coated with the tangy spice mixture za'atar. Both are available from Middle Eastern grocers. Alternatively, use Bulgarian feta sprinkled with za'atar.
