Fattoush

Fattoush is a traditional Middle Eastern salad that features fresh vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, and lettuce. It is distinguished by the addition of toasted or fried pieces of pita bread, which add crunch and flavor. The salad is typically flavored with a tangy dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, and sumac—an earthy spice—that gives it a unique, zesty taste. Fattoush is known for its vibrant flavors, fresh ingredients, and crunchy texture, making it a popular, healthy, and refreshing dish enjoyed as a side or light meal across the Middle East.
