Fatoush is a vibrant, fresh salad rooted in Levantine cuisine, popular in Middle Eastern diets. This dish combines chopped vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, and lettuce with crispy pieces of toasted or fried pita bread for added texture. Fresh herbs such as parsley and mint lend a fragrant touch, while the dressing—often made from olive oil, lemon juice, and sumac—adds tangy flavor and antioxidants. Fatoush is a nutrient-rich option, packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the vegetables and herbs. Olive oil provides healthy monounsaturated fats, which support heart health. While generally light, frying the pita or adding excessive oil may increase calorie and fat content, making preparation methods crucial for maximizing its health benefits. Fatoush showcases the Mediterranean emphasis on wholesome, simple ingredients and is a delicious way to incorporate more vegetables into a meal.
