I'm trying to write a eastern salad for a raw menu. Its going to have to be called tabbouleh, i think? Because its based on this. Sprouted Red Quinoa Taboulleh salad with cherry tom's, spring onion, sprouted chickpeas, kalamata olives, mint & parsley. Sumac dressing served with hummus, nut-feta and flax seed crisp-breads. I think its more of a taboulleh then a fattoush, any opinion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-69339010180884607482009-06-03T04:42:09.037-05:002009-06-03T04:42:09.037-05:00That's great, Nathali, thanks so much!

If you go to Lebanon this is how it's served:<br /><br />-Chopped Lettuce<br />-Chopped Small cucumber<br />-Chopped regular firm tomatoes<br />-Chopped raddish<br />-Chopped fresh mint<br />-Onion (doesn't matter what type, it's what you like)<br />-Sumac,salt, olive oil and lemon as you like, but it should have a bit of lemonish taste to it.<br /><br />The final trick is deep frying pita bread untill it turns light brown and crispy. Then you break it and add it to the salad right before it's served.<br /><br />Enjoy!!!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04617774199214322997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1153954488314523162006-07-26T17:54:00.000-05:002006-07-26T17:54:00.000-05:00I was planning panzanella for dinner for guests to...I was planning panzanella for dinner for guests tomorrow night, until I read your recipe for fattoush. I'd forgotten how much I used to love it at Cedars Restaurant in Boston more than 20 years ago. Our neighborhood then was heavily Lebanese/Syrian, with a pita bakery on one block, and two groceries just down the street. Thanks for reminding me about fattoush!Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18005372315838352874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1153788604725697302006-07-24T19:50:00.000-05:002006-07-24T19:50:00.000-05:00I tried Fattoush for the first time in Greece and ...I tried Fattoush for the first time in Greece and immediately loved it!

I grew up calling this "Israeli salad." I've also seen it referred to as "Arab salad," which is probably more accurate. In any case, the Lebanese certainly don't have a monopoly on finely chopped vegetables with lemon juice, olive oil, and mint.elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271905313295544312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1153352681210755722006-07-19T18:44:00.000-05:002006-07-19T18:44:00.000-05:00I could go for some of that right now!

The sala...You're right, this is a first for sumac. The salad sounds good. I like the addition of radishes. My friend Massoud (who is from Iran) makes this with lots and lots of parsley and mint compared to the amount of tomatoes and cucumbers. He sometimes soaks the pita in dressing before he adds it to the salad too, so there's another idea. For those who don't know about sumac, it's commonly used in Zaatar, a mixture of sumac, thyme, and sesame seeds, sometimes combined with olive oil and used as a dip for pita. (I'm actually writing about that on Friday when I review a restaurant I went to with Rand, more proof that we are channeling each other!)Kalyn Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-1153315518182923332006-07-19T08:25:00.000-05:002006-07-19T08:25:00.000-05:00Looks great!
