Fattoush Salad

Last Updated on March 12, 2023 by Jacqueline Rafidi

                This is probably my favorite salad of all time. I don’t make it often because it order for it to be considered Fattoush, you need fried pita bread on top – you can also do baked, but in my opinion, the fried pita bread is much crispier and tastier. It is such a treat from the fresh crispy veggies to the mighty crunch of that pita crouton. The dressing is sweet and very tangy and just makes you crave each bite more and more! You’re going to love it! Don’t forget to share and tag me in pictures when you make any of my recipes! @thebitewithjackie
