Fattoush Recipe- Fresh And Delicious- فتوش

Fattoush is a zesty salad that has all fresh ingredients, cut, diced and chopped small to medium cuts, tossed with dressing of olive oil and lemon juice. This is a very healthy and hearty dish if you use toasted bread instead of fried and less olive oil than the recipe requires.
Depending on the size of your family, use your own judgment regarding the quantity of the ingredients.
Ingredients for Fattoush:
Romain Lettuce, chopped
2 or 3 tomatoes, cubed
2 or 3 Small cucumbers, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and chopped
1 Medium green pepper, seeded and diced
five to six pieces of radishes, diced
5 Scallions, chopped
4 tbs. Finely chopped parsley

1 tbs. Cilantro- Optional
1 loaf Pita bread, toasted or fried and cut into cubes
1/2 cup Olive oil
1/2 cup Lemon juice
You may add any vegetables you like to your salad. I usually add pitted green olives to it that gives it a great taste.
Other variation for the dressing: in addition to the lemons juice, use red vinegar with one minced clove of garlic, mix with olive oil and sprinkle on the salad.
Sprinkle Sumac, Salt and black pepper to taste.
