Fattoush is a traditional Middle Eastern salad with a rich history dating back to ancient times. This vibrant dish originated in the Levant region and has since become a beloved staple in Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian cuisine. The salad is renowned for its refreshing combination of crispy pita bread, fresh vegetables, and a zesty sumac dressing. Chefs and home cooks alike take pride in crafting the perfect Fattoush, often using locally sourced ingredients such as ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fragrant herbs like mint and parsley. Today, the best versions of Fattoush can be found in authentic Middle Eastern restaurants, where the balance of flavors and textures truly shines. To make the perfect Fattoush, it's crucial to ensure the pita bread is toasted to golden perfection and the dressing is generously infused with tangy sumac and aromatic olive oil. While the classic recipe remains a favorite, some chefs also add their own twist by incorporating ingredients like radishes, bell peppers, or even grilled halloumi for a delightful variation. Whether enjoyed as a side dish or a light meal on its own, Fattoush continues to captivate food enthusiasts with its timeless appeal and vibrant flavors.
