Lebanese Fattoush bread salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is made with a combination of fresh vegetables, herbs, and pita bread, and is dressed with a tangy lemon-tahini dressing. The vegetables in the salad are typically diced or chopped, and may include tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, onions, and parsley. The pita bread is torn into pieces and toasted, and is added to the salad along with the vegetables. The dressing is made with lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper, and is drizzled over the salad before serving.

Steps:
- Put diced and chopped vegetables into a bowl, cover and chill until shortly before serving time.
- Combine lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt and pepper and pour over the vegetables.
- Toast pita bread under the grill - it should be pale gold in colour, not brown.
- Break into large pieces and toss into salad at last minute, so it will still be crisp when eaten.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe vegetables.
- If you don't have sumac, you can substitute lemon juice.
- To make the bread croutons, you can use any type of bread you like. Just make sure it's stale so that it will crisp up in the oven.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought dressing. Just make sure it's a good quality dressing that you enjoy the taste of.
- Fattoush is a great salad to serve as a main course or a side dish.
Conclusion:
Fattoush is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give fattoush a try. You won't be disappointed!
