Chicken Fattoush Salad

30 Apr, 2015

Tweet

Delicious salad of Arabic origin with pita bread and loaded with vegetables

Wife calls me a salad nut and that I should change the name of my website into saladglory or something similar but the truth is, she’s enjoying them as much as I do. I guess somebody has to cook something else but pasta and casseroles in this household anyway, might as well be me.

If you are looking for a classic fattoush recipe, this is not it. The original requires pieces of pita bread and a bunch of various veggies, no meat involved. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT! Well, that didn’t work for me so I got rid of the bread and added some grilled chicken. As usually, my salads are amazing (ask the wife). One thing that I had trouble finding was sumac, a spice that adds a lemony taste to this dish, pretty much mandatory to any fattoush recipe. Make sure you have it before you start making the salad because there is no replacement for it, sumac has its own distinct flavor and taste that I hope you will enjoy.
