fattoush

May 2, 2014 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

Fattoush: an Arabic word for a Levantine bread salad made from toasted or fried pieces of pita combined with mixed greens and other vegetables. Fattoush includes different vegetables and herbs according to season and taste. It is a mosaic, a puzzle, an exciting composition from which to launch the day.
