Authentic Fattoush Salad | Fresh, Healthy, Delicious 🥗

Hi everybody! Welcome back to Marie's Kitchen! I'm so glad you're here! Today we're making Fattoush, a Lebanese dish that is so fresh and delicious, I crave it weekly! With a tart lemon-sumac dressing, fresh mint and parsley, juicy tomatoes, and crisp cucumbers, the salad tastes like a farmer’s market in every bite! 🍅🥬🥒🌿🍋 The Arabic word “fattoush” means “soaked bread.” So a key ingredient in fattoush salad is crispy pita bread that softens a bit when soaked in the dressing. Many recipes require that you fry your own pita bread, but I don’t have the patience 🤪 So I tried using bagged pita chips from the grocery store and they’re perfect! The bagged pita chips are thicker than most pita bread, so they don’t get as soggy in the dressing. You can use a whole-grain option if you like. The dressing is made with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, and sumac. Sumac is a Mediterranean spice that has a subtle fruity, smokey aroma. The name means “dark red” in Arabic, a nod to the dark red color of the ground sumac berries that make up the spice. You can find sumac in Mediterranean markets or online.
