Explore The Pairing
Pistachios
Top with a sweet crunch. Pistachios have their origins in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. They top your salad with a delightful, salty crunch that complements the firm feta crumbles.
Tip
You can toast pistachios in the oven or on the stovetop. Just remember to keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
Saba Vinegar
Enjoy flavors that once dazzled the palates of pharaohs and emperors. An ancient condiment that was popular in the Roman and Egyptian periods, Saba vinegar is incredibly savory. During the wine-making process, grapes are pressed, bringing what's called "must" to the top. The must is then reduced, creating this beautiful vinegar.
Tip
No saba? No problem. Just use Balsamic Vinegar instead.
