Recipes Salad Green Salad Recipes Romaine Lettuce Salad Recipes Authentic Lebanese Fattoush 4.4 (31) 24 Reviews 4 Photos This Lebanese fattoush recipe is good for hot weather. The salad uses two unusual ingredients: sumac and purslane. Sumac, usually sold ground, is made from ground red berries and used in Middle Eastern, mainly Lebanese, cooking. Purslane is a succulent with a lemony flavor and makes a nice salad green. I find them at farmers' markets.
