Healthy Nutrition:Authentic Lebanese Fattoush Salad Recipe

Article Summary:

Here is an in-depth guide to the world of nutrition. We cover new developments in both the worlds of traditional and alternative medicine, break them down and help you make sense of your health in general. We focus especially on the impact food has on the body and how that relates to disease.

Most people think of tabbouleh when you mention Lebanese salads.  It’s true, this parsley-bulgur combination is a classic (you can find a recipe in a previous post).  However, fattoush is my favorite. It may be lesser known in the U.S., but this bright-tasting

Combine all salad ingredients except the bread into a large bowl.  When you’re ready to serve, whisk the dressing ingredients together and toss the salad.  (However, most people in Lebanon will likely squeeze the lemon directly on the dressing and then add the additional ingredients.)  Mix in the toasted or fried bread (which can be drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sumac when toasting in the oven).

Below is a version of fattoush we enjoyed in a restaurant in Byblos.  It arrived with the all the fried bread arranged on top that we broke up into smaller pieces and tossed.  Certainly it’s healthier to toast the bread instead of fry, but this fried bread with a drizzle of pomegranate syrup on top was amazing!
