Fattoush

Levantine salad with toasted flatbread

Cookbook: Fattoush
Media: Fattoush

Fattoush (Arabic: فتوش; also fattush, fatush, fattoosh, and fattouche) is a Lebanese salad made from toasted or fried pieces of khubz (Arabic flat bread) combined with mixed greens and other vegetables, such as radishes and tomatoes.^[1] Fattoush is popular among communities in the Levant.^[2]^[3]

Etymology

Fattūsh is derived from the Arabic fatt "crush" and the suffix of Turkic origin -ūsh. Coining words this way was common in Levantine Arabic.

Ingredients

Fattoush belongs to the family of dishes known as fattat (plural of fatteh), which use stale flatbread as a base.^[1]^[4] Fattoush includes vegetables and herbs varying by season and taste. The vegetables are cut into relatively large pieces compared to tabbouleh which requires ingredients to be finely chopped. Sumac is usually used to give fattoush its sour taste, while some recipes also add pomegranate molasses along with the sumac.
