Sometimes all we need is a gentle reminder like this ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇

, to get us reaching for some healthier food options. This salad I blog about today is a well known salad, with Levantine origins (Lebanon, Jordan and Syria), a chunky kind of salad, with vegetables that you may like or those that are in season.
Travel has allowed me to experience many new tastes from around the World, and this salad is one such dish. It can be found in most Arabian themed Resturants and made with leftover Pita Breads (Arabian Flatbread – khubz), However I prefer using a tortilla wrap that I cut up and fry lightly in oil until golden brown and crisp.
The main ingredient in this salad would be the Salad Dressing, which has Sumac , a Spice with a Tangy/Sour taste, but paired with Lemon or Lime juice just further enhances this spice.
Below is my recipe for the Salad together with the Fattoush Dressing Vinaigrette .
So go ahead, don’t wait for those little reminders to get you and your family to ENJOY this Crunchy, Tangy Arabian Salad.
Happy Salad Tossing my friends;)
