Seek out sumac and pomegranate molasses for the most authentic and delicious Fattoush you can make.The first time I had Fattoush was at a Lebanese restaurant in Los Angeles, and I was blown away at how simple and delicious the salad was.It looked like any other Mediterranean Chopped Salad except for the crunchy pita chips and the red spice all over it.

It turns out that spice was sumac, a red, lemony powder that is popular in Middle Eastern cuisine.I knew sumac from Za’atar but I had no idea how tasty it could be in a lemon vinaigrette.Fattoush also traditionally has a drizzle of pomegranate molasses, and it really adds another layer of flavor.

For the most authentic-tasting Fattoush, don’t skip the sumac or the pomegranate molasses.Table of ContentsRecipe ingredientsIngredient notesStep-by-step instructionsRecipe tips and variationsRecipe FAQsFattoush Recipe Recipe ingredients At a Glance: Here is a quick snapshot of what ingredients are in this recipe.Please see the recipe card below for specific quantities.
