Fattoush salad
This simple, zesty salad takes less than 10 minutes to put together but packs massive flavor.  Fattoush is a Levantine bread salad – think Middle Eastern Panzanella – simply dressed with oil, fresh lemon juice, and sumac.

The sumac and mint are critical to its distinctive flavor and really shouldn’t be skipped. While lettuce, tomato, and cucumber are central to the recipe, this salad is a fabulous way to use whatever’s on hand – radish, onion, peppers, olives, pomegranate, parsley, and cabbage are all traditional variations.

I toasted the pita in our little toaster oven and didn’t have to turn on the stove. This is a great side for a summer meal. Or, top with cubed chicken or baked salmon for a light dinner. We served this with leftover Pomegranate Rosewater Chicken thighs – yum!
