from crumbling some goat cheese or some
feta in there it turns it into a
different salad technically but you you

  1. Levantine cuisine (Israeli, Lebanese, Turkish, and Syrian) is one of the most underrated in the world. It's flavourful, but also light and healthy. I'm not a fan of cooked feta – it smells like Justin Jefferson's socks after an overtime game – but I'd totally make this dish without it.

  2. Липсват ми вашите предавания, които гледах с голям интерес. Те са незабравими, защото не само се приготвя храна, но се разказва за историята на дадено място и живота на хората, свързани с нея.
    Сърдечно от България, тя къде ли е на географската и кулинарна карта?🤗

  3. It’s a lovely fresh fattoush, and I will definitely create it to compare with my Lebanese SIL’s recipe. I’ll admit that I got really interested when you added the diced yellow bell peppers, because I thought it was mango at first. That could be a great addition to the traditional recipe, but then I thought a tart apple, like a Granny Smith, could also work wonderfully here, or even halved seedless grapes. They may all be delicious and unexpected. Or maybe it would not work at all, but I’m going to add some of the fruits and see what combinations work together. Thanks Andrew!! It is always fun to find new flavors.
