Fattoush – Lebanese Salad

Fattoush is a dish of the Levantine cuisine, more specifically a Lebanese salad. In addition to lettuce leaves, it usually consists of cucumber, tomatoes, baked flatbread pieces and a lemon dressing, which is seasoned with sumac. Parsley and mint complete the fresh, oriental taste.

Fattoush – Lebanese Salad

Sumac is the dried and ground fruit of the vinegar tree (staghorn sumac) and is often used as a spice in oriental cuisine. Sumac has a fruity-sour flavour and is found, for example. in Turkish supermarkets or in well-assorted spice shops. If you want to give your dressing the very special touch, can also add some pomegranate syrup. But even without it Fattoush is very delicious.

Funnily enough, I already fell in love with Fattoush before I even knew the dish. Last year, I often got it served as a salad on a hummus plate. I especially liked the fresh dressing and the clever making use of leftover flatbread. Only a few weeks ago, I learned through a colleague that the salad is an independent dish and is called Fattoush. Since then, we make Fattoush quite often for lunch on our Salad Wednesday in the office and all our colleagues are thrilled.
