Fattoush, a Levantene Salad for Kahlil Gibran
Fattoush is a happy combination of toasted pita, rough-chopped salad bits - cucumber, lettuce, green onion (or red), the last of the gorgeous summer tomatoes - and I toss them with fresh herbs (mint and parsley really pop). Variations include feta and olives. The dressing is a bright lemon garlic affair, with ground sumac for a tart garnish. This casual beauty is enjoyed throughout the Middle East, especially in Lebanon, Syria - making dinnertime fresh and cool.
