The Lebanese salad made with toasted pita, parsley, tomatoes, and sumac is called fattoush.
Fattoush is a Levantine bread salad that combines mixed vegetables with pieces of toasted or fried pita. Tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, radishes, and herbs are common ingredients, while sumac supplies a tart, lemon-like flavor. A dressing often includes olive oil, lemon juice, and pomegranate molasses or other souring ingredients.
The name relates to the use of leftover bread, making fattoush an example of a broader culinary tradition in which stale bread is repurposed rather than discarded. Recipes vary considerably between households and countries in the Levant.
Fattoush is frequently mixed up with tabbouleh. Tabbouleh is herb-forward and centers on parsley, bulgur, tomatoes, and lemon, whereas fattoush is defined by toasted pita and a chopped vegetable salad seasoned with sumac.
