Fattoush is a Lebanese salad of crisp lettuce, crunchy vegetables, toasted bites of pita bread and a tangy sumac dressing! A perfect way to use leftover pita bread, this fattoush salad recipe comes together in minutes and is hearty enough to be a meal on its own.

Fattoush salads have a nearly endless list of possible ingredients from radishes and romaine to purslane, parsley and pomegranate! You can also add a sprinkle of feta or handful of black or green olives.

👩‍🍳 Don’t skip the sumac in your dressing – there’s no other spice quite like it!
