Citrus and Avocado Salad with Orange Water

Serve these as you would falafel: in a pita, on top of a salad, or as a snack with a dip.

Frozen into a slushy, the classic tequila and grapefruit cocktail becomes even more refreshing.

This fragrant salad uses bulgur wheat as its base, an endlessly versatile, slightly chewy grain that’s very popular throughout the eastern Mediterranean.

This luscious chilled yogurt soup, packed with fresh and dried mint, is an incredibly refreshing and cooling appetizer during the summer.

With colorful radishes and jammy eggs, this is just as great for a holiday as it is for a casual spring lunch.

Yeasted pancakes mixed with saffron and cardamom (called chebab) are typical of Gulf countries, but I must confess I much prefer these lacy thin crepes.

The pan-fried tofu is crispy yet pillowy, served with a punchy dressing that is made with the same bold flavors as mapo seasoning.

This crunchy, creamy salad has everything you want for a cookout.
