The name ‘Fattoush’ derives from an Arabic word meaning ‘small crumbs’, which aptly describes the bite sized chunks of toasted pitta bread featured in this tasty salad. Radishes – another key ingredient in this salad - are incredibly easy to grow in Lebanon and for many signal the start of summer, making them a popular ingredient. In this recipe, they offer a fresh, crunchy bite and when tossed together in a zingy dressing with chopped tomato, cucumber, shallot and feta, create a deliciously simple salad. This is a great recipe for using up stale pitta bread too.
