The pickle and radish sound great in this. I have a separate dolmades post in the works, too. Great minds think alike. : )

YUMMMMMMMMM! Fatoush…I still haven’t tried my hand at this awesome salad, but you sure make me want to try!

Katiez—have you tried Penzey’s online? They have practically every spice and herb imaginable…I get mine from an Iranian restaurant here (I’m in good with the owners hehe). Otherwise, organic grocers tend to carry more unusual types of spices and other ingredients….just a thought!

Wendy!!!
I am so sorry the weather is not summery in beautiful Scotland at the moment! But we must remember it has its own charms! I would love to be there right now, Fattoush Salad or NOT! We have been listening to Capercaille all night – one of my favorite bands in the whole WIDE world! Running close with Dougie MacLean!

Fabulous photos! It’s so bloody cold here at the moment I’m not in the mood for salad but I’ll definitely remember it for when (if) the good weather arrives.

I don’t think I’d have enough leftovers to make that

Hi Holler! I am so happy that this post and photos have been so inspiring for you!

Katiez! I know, isn’t it so summery. I love this salad. If you can’t find Sumac, I am not sure you can really substitute anything to get its unique flavor. But you can just use a little lemon zest and some pungent herb you enjoy, like maybe oregano to get the full bodied flavor that sumac adds to this dish.

Hey Figs! Thanks! You back?

That just screams ‘summer’!
I have no clue where I would find ground sumac…is there any close substitution?

Hey Peter!

I guess whever you get down to Lebanese place!

Yeah, I love whole wheat pitas! It is not a terrible transition, trust me. But sometimes it is great to have a white one on the grill! yum! And you have GOT to get sumac!
