Fattoush Salad

Fattoush is considered as one of the most famous kinds of salads in Syria and in the Middle East countries.

This Syrian Fattoush Salad is the quintessential salad that you’ll find at all Syrian restaurants that most people like to eat. It is always served as an appetizer, along with tabbouleh and hummus!

So, in Arabic, the word “fattoush” is derived from the Arabic “fatteh” which literally means “crumbs.”

The most important components of fattoush are: cuts of tomato, cucumber, radish, sumac, and thin fried pieces of khubz (Arabic flat bread), that make it the favorite salad, and no mezze is complete without it.

fattoush can be served in so many ways for example with lettuce or grape leaves, wrap them in a small piece and eat them.
