    This tasty Fattoush recipe is also known as middle eastern bread salad. Just a few simple ingredients and a delicious tangy dressing for a great tasty dish.

    This Fattoush recipe is easy to put together with a few key ingredients that make it unique, fresh, and tasty. Also known as Middle Eastern bread salad, a Lebanese salad with toasted or fried bits of pita bread.

    Toasted Pita Bread bites.

    Arabic Fattoush Salad

    It starts like many salads with greens and fresh vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Often it is described as a bread salad because it contains pita bread, however, there are a few other ingredients that give this salad lots of flavor.

    Parsley & Mint Leaves

    Fresh flat leaf parsley and fresh mint are two additional ingredients that make this salad unique. If you are familiar with Tabbouleh salad, another well known Arabic dish, then the addition of parsley and mint makes sense.

    The other unique ingredient is ground sumac. Sumac has a great tart, lemony taste that, in my opinion, makes this dish. I even make this dressing to use on a regular everyday tossed salad. It has a pretty dark red color and is often sprinkled on top of dips like hummus or baba ganoush. 

    I haven't seen ground sumac in the grocery stores around my house, but it is available in many middle eastern groceries or even online.

    If you enjoy salads and lemony tart flavors, then this recipe is for you. Try serving this at your next family get together for something a little different and bursting with flavor.
