Fattoush is one of my all time favorite salads. The bread soaks up the flavors of the fresh veggies and dressing. This recipe is as close as I can come to my grandmother's. It is traditional Lebanese. However, when in season, she would substitute many different vegetables from zucchini to blanched green beans. Read more Use your imagination. Hope you enjoy. See less

Fresh Pomegranate Mmmm I have a few at home to try with this recipe.! I love this salad with home made pita chips. The addition of Purslane sounds wonderful to me.
