The Timeless Taste of the Fattoush
Fattoush is more than just a salad; it’s a beloved culinary tradition that has been passed down through generations in the Middle East. The name "Fattoush" is derived from the Arabic word "fatt," meaning "to crumble," a nod to the crispy pieces of pita bread that are crumbled over the salad, giving it its characteristic crunch. This simple act of crumbling bread into the salad reflects the resourcefulness of Middle Eastern cuisine, where nothing goes to waste, and every ingredient is valued. What truly sets Fattoush apart from other salads is its celebration of freshness and simplicity. The salad is a vibrant mix of garden-fresh vegetables and herbs, each chosen for its ability to contribute to the overall harmony of flavours. It’s a dish that embodies the spirit of sharing and community, often served at family gatherings or as part of a mezze spread. The ingredients are humble, but when combined with the zesty brightness of a sumac-spiced vinaigrette and the satisfying crunch of pita chips, they create a dish that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
Exploring the Classic Ingredients
Fattoush is a celebration of the garden's bounty, a reminder that the simplest ingredients can create the most extraordinary dishes. With each bite of our Classic Fattoush Salad, you’ll experience the essence of this tradition—a perfect balance of flavours and textures that has made Fattoush a favourite for generations. It begins with a base of crisp greenhouse lettuce, juicy grape tomatoes, cool cucumbers, and colourful bell peppers, each adding a refreshing and sweet note to the mix. Feta cheese is crumbled throughout, providing a creamy and tangy contrast that pairs perfectly with the fresh vegetables. Radish and green onion bring a slight peppery bite and a sharpness that balances the salad’s flavours, while fresh parsley infuses a burst of herbal freshness that ties everything together. The real star, however, is our homemade sumac vinaigrette - a zesty blend of sumac, honey, mint, and parsley - that delivers a bright, citrusy tang to every bite. Finally, crispy pita chips are scattered on top, adding the perfect crunch that makes this salad as satisfying as it is flavourful. Each ingredient in our Classic Fattoush Salad plays a crucial role in creating a dish that’s as delightful to eat as it is to look at.
