ABOUT Fattoush Salad RECIPE

Fattoush is essentiaaly seasoned with sumac, a tart deep red spice made from dried berries of sumac. This colourful fattoush salad is a healthy weight loss recipe. It has an interesting lemony- garlicky taste. Fattoush is rich in fibre, vitamin A & C, iron and calcium, You may add a little bit of feta or haloumi cheese or anything that you like as long as the sumac flecked vinaigrette is used.
