Fattoush is a Lebanese salad made by combining toasted and chopped pita bread with the choicest of veggies and herbs.

The texture of this Middle Eastern Fattoush salad is truly out-of-the-world, as it combines the crispiness of toasted pita bread with the juicy crunchiness of veggies. A simple but flavourful olive oil based dressing adds to the charm of this Fattoush salad, making it an incomparable treat.

To make Fattoush salad healthy, you can use whole wheat pita bread and toast it, instead of pita bread made with plain flour. We have used regular pita bread to make Fattoush salad as this is readily available in bakery stores and supermarkets across India.

At home, we serve Fattoush salad with some hummus and lavash or falafel.

Fattoush is a Lebanese salad made up of vegetables and pieces of crunchy toasted pita bread. This is a nice colorful salad with cucumber, tomato., lettuce, radish and spring onions.

The concentration is more in the herbs which are the hero of this dish. Quite a unique recipe.
