citric acid salt (optional), for extra kick if the sumac wasn’t enough for you
Lightly roast the sesame in a wide pan until it get a golden brown color.
Wait for the sesame to completely cool down.
Mix everything together, starting from the zaatar and sesame while adjusting the sumac (optionally citric acid) and salt to taste.
