Fragrant Mixed Herb and Flatbread Salad (Domaaj)

This fragrant mixed herb and flatbread salad, known as domaaj, is a vibrant and textural vegetarian dish that celebrates the bright flavours of Persian cuisine. Combining crisp pieces of flatbread with a trio of fresh mint, basil and tarragon, it is elevated by the crunch of toasted walnuts and the saltiness of crumbled feta. The addition of pomegranate seeds provides a burst of sweetness and colour, making it a beautiful centrepiece for any table.

Traditionally served as a refreshing snack or light lunch, this homemade salad is incredibly versatile. The balsamic and olive oil dressing softens the bread slightly, allowing it to absorb the aromatic herbs and earthy spices. It is a fantastic option for those seeking a healthy, quick-to-prepare meal that brings a touch of Middle Eastern sunshine to your plate.

Ingredients for Fragrant Mixed Herb and Flatbread Salad (Domaaj)

  • 4-5 pieces Persian flatbread (or toasted tortillas or pitta bread)

  • 80g walnuts, roughly chopped

  • Scant cup feta, crumbled

  • I small bunch mint, roughly chopped

  • 1 small bunch basil, roughly chopped

  • 1 small bunch tarragon, roughly chopped

  • 3 tablespoons pomegranate seeds, to garnish

How to make Fragrant Mixed Herb and Flatbread Salad (Domaaj)

Using a pair of scissors, cut the flatbread into small jagged pieces and place them in a large bowl.

Toast the walnuts in a small pan over a medium heat for 2 minutes. Add them to the bowl, along with the crumbled cheese and chopped herbs.

To make the dressing, whisk the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and golpar (if you are using it) with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and then get your hands in there, giving the whole thing a good stir to evenly distribute it.

Leave the salad for 10 minutes for the flavours to soak into the bread, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with a generous sprinkling of pomegranate seeds just before serving.
