<\/a>Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

I love Middle Eastern cuisine. Baba ghanoush, falafel, tabouli, you name it\u2014 it’s some of my favorite food. I was craving<\/em> a feel good meal this weekend, so I decided to try my hand at a classic, fattoush salad.<\/p>\n

Fattoush (\u0641\u062a\u0648\u0634) is a levantine bread salad which originated in Lebanon, but is also common in Syria and other Middle Eastern counties. Fattoush includes toasted or fried pieces of pita bread mixed with greens and fresh vegetables. It generally also includes cucumber, tomato, and other ingredients depending on season, location, taste, etc.<\/p>\n

The dressing is slightly sour and acidic, using a healthy serving of lemon juice and sumac. Since I didn’t have sumac, I used zatar seasoning to give the salad a full flavor.\u00a0I also used store bought pita chips to save time, but I’m sure this recipe would be even better if you used homemade pita bread<\/a>\u00a0for the crunch. This is\u00a0a deceptively easy<\/em>\u00a0salad to make considering the robust flavor combinations. Why not give it a try?<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite Middle Eastern recipe?<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
