  The bright green herb salad of the Levant — and, crucially, mostly parsley. Finely chopped flat-leaf parsley and mint are tossed with a little fine bulgur, diced tomato, lemon juice and good olive oil. Fresh, zingy and herbaceous, it's a mezze cornerstone scooped up with crisp lettuce or romaine.

  The Levant's vibrant bread salad: crisp shards of toasted or fried pita tossed at the last minute through crunchy cucumber, tomato, radish, herbs and crisp lettuce, all dressed in a tangy lemon-and-sumac dressing brightened with pomegranate molasses. Sour, herby and refreshing — a mezze-table staple that turns stale flatbread into something irresistible.
