Recipe of Fattoush Salad

Vida Recetas Editorial

Fattoush salad is a vibrant and refreshing Lebanese salad, perfect for hot days. Its most distinctive feature is the use of pita bread, toasted and torn, which adds a crunchy texture and absorbs the delicious dressing. This recipe combines fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, red onion, and radishes, along with aromatic herbs like parsley and mint. The dressing, made with olive oil, lemon juice, and ground sumac, gives it a tangy and slightly earthy flavor that enhances all the ingredients.

This salad is ideal as a side dish for grilled meats, chicken, or fish, but can also be served as a light main course. It is a healthy, low-calorie option packed with nutrients, thanks to the variety of vegetables and olive oil.

Variations and tips

  • You can add other vegetables like romaine lettuce or arugula for more volume.
  • If you prefer a stronger kick, add some minced garlic to the dressing.
  • Sumac is essential for the traditional flavor; if you don't have it, you can substitute with lemon zest and a pinch of pepper.
