Fattoush is a Lebanese Salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, and dried pita chips, and it's flavored with lemon juice and Sumac. This tasty salad is vegan, low-glycemic, and dairy-free, and it can be low-carb and South Beach Diet friendly if you use low-carb pita bread like I do.

I hope it goes without saying that I'd never post a recipe here unless I really liked the recipe. And although I do try not to gush over recipes too much, there definitely are some recipes that are my absolute must-make favorites. This Fattoush Lebanese Salad with Sumac and Pita Chips is one of those, and it's something I make every summer when tomatoes and garden cucumbers start to get abundant.
I got the salad recipe from a reader named Lori back in 2009, and I made it three times in four days right after she sent it to me. Since then it's become one of my go-to summer salads when I have tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, and mint in the garden. And ever since then I've given thanks to Lori for this wonderful recipe!

Fattoush means "crumbled bread" in Arabic and this is a Lebanese version of bread salad that includes crumbled pita chips, something that might make the low-carb eaters pause a bit. But I use low-carb pita bread, and the pita that gets soaked in a lemon juice and olive oil dressing that's seasoned with Sumac is one thing that makes this salad so amazing. You can definitely use less pita bread (or skip it completely if you prefer and the salad will still be great.)
Ground Sumac (soo-mack) maybe be an ingredient you haven't used before, but it's well worth adding to your spice cabinet. It has a slightly lemony flavor, and it's the Sumac, the lemon, and the fresh herbs that really bump this salad up to something memorable you'll want to make over and over. And if you do have Sumac, or buy some for this recipe, just enter "Sumac" into the search bar on this site and you'll find a lot of other recipes where I've used it.
