For an extra layer of flavor, try using Greek yogurt for a tangier base. Adjust the amount of za'atar to your preference; some blends can be saltier than others. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. If the salad seems too dry, add additional yogurt, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Serve immediately on toasted bread, croissants, or enjoy as a filling for lettuce wraps.

A vibrant and tangy twist on classic egg salad, replacing mayonnaise with the bright flavors of yogurt, tahini, and za'atar. This version is both lighter and more flavorful, perfect for a quick lunch or elegant brunch.
