"Fattoush is a Lebanese salad, good for hot weather. This recipe uses two unusual ingredients: sumac and purslane. Sumac, usually sold ground, is ground red berries and used in Middle Eastern, particularly Lebanese, cooking. Read more Purslane is succulent with a lemony flavor, and makes a nice salad green. I find them at farmer's markets." See less
