Fattoush - Lebanese Bread Salad
Fattoush is a salad created as a way to use up stale pita bread. Pieces of pita are toasted until crispy and added to tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, and lettuce.
The key ingredient is sumac, a spice that gives a citrusy tang. A dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh mint is characteristic of this dish.
