Lebanese Fattoush salad

Fattoush is the perfect go-to lunch! Fattoush is a very popular Mediterranean salad and it literally translates to “crumbs” in Arabic because day old pita bread is toasted and added to seasonal vegetables. I love using pomegranate seeds and pomegranate molasses in the dressing! Sumac gives it that citrusy flavour and the combination of mint, parsley and crispy vegetables make this a divine combination. Here’s my take on Fattoush.

Serves 4-6

  • 1/2 of a romaine lettuce head (or any other greens)
