Beautiful colours, crispy bread and tangy flavours is what makes fattoush salad so uniquely delicious. For the most part, this salad is served during the Holy month of Ramadan but my family loved it so much that I remember my mother making it all year round. This salad is so versatile, you can customize it to your liking. Add or remove ingredients, as long as you stick to the tangy dressing and crunchy pita chips, you’ll have yourself an amazing salad!
