Fattoush is the refreshing salad of Lebanon and Syria: a mix of fresh greens with chunks of toasted (or fried) pita bread soaking up the sumac-lemon dressing. Sumac, the tangy burgundy spice, is the most characteristic flavor of this salad.

Chef's tips
- Preheat the oven well in advance so that the temperature is stable from the first minute.
- Wash and dry the green leaves well; The residual water dilutes the dressing and dulls the texture.
