Out to Eat: Middle Eastern Feast
I mentioned in a recent post that Middle Eastern food is a fantastic compromise for people who love to eat whole, healthy foods and people who… couldn’t care less. Last night I went out to a local Middle Eastern restaurant called Jerusalem Garden with two of my friends who definitely do care, but I was reminded of how great that food is for all types of eaters.
I ordered a lovely fattoush salad topped with grilled chicken and fried pita (it tastes like pita chips). The fried pita, while not the healthiest thing in the world, made the salad feel more indulgent even though there were only a few pieces on the whole plate. This meal cost $7.49 (before tax and tip), highlighting the fact that Middle Eastern food is not only healthy, but also quite affordable.
What’s your favorite healthy Middle Eastern dish?
