This is fatous salad, a vibrant and refreshing Leventine dish that combines crisp vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes with toasted or fried pieces of pita bread for a satisfying crunch. It’s traditionally dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, and sumac, which gives it a tangy, slightly citrusy flavor. Originating from the Levant region, particularly Lebanon and Syria, Fatush reflects the resourceful and flavorful cuisine of the Middle East, turning simple, fresh ingredients into a colorful and delicious salad enjoyed across Arab households.
