Fattoush
I just came back from a two day retreat and it seemed like all I did was eat!
Full breakfasts, creamy sauces and dessert with every meal.
I was craving veggies and a simple supper.
Plus I missed my kitchen…
As I was going through my mail, I saw a Penzy Spices catalog and found a recipe for Fattoush!
Perfect!
I love Fattoush – it’s a Middle Eastern vegetable salad with dried pita bread topped with a lemony vinaigrette dressing.
It’s a crunchy salad full of flavor – a bit of mint in the salad really compliments the dressing.
Sumac is a must – I did have some in the spice cupboard.
I had fun being back in my kitchen again chopping all the veggies!
This salad makes a great side to grilled chicken or fish when you’re looking for a light meal!
