Grilled Fattoush

May 25, 2011

Fattoush is the Lebanese cousin to Italy's panzanella salad.  This salad was made as a way to utilize pieces of stale pita.  In this recipe, grilled pieces of pita are combined with fresh vegetables and a tangy dressing.  You can use whatever seasonal veggies that are available in your region.  This would be a nice accompaniment to some garlic chicken or splendid on its own.
