This salad is a cool fusion of Middle East (the za’atar and tahini) and Asian ingredients (the black garlic and rice vinegar) and is full of wonderful tastes and textures.
You can find black garlic at gourmet supermarkets or online at www.amazon.com. We got ours at Gourmet Glatt in Cedarhurst.

Thanks; for the info. (I’ve never seen it.)
There's no indication of how the black garlic should be prepared: roasted whole (then peeled)? sliced? minced?
