Have you tried Fattoush?

If youโ€™ve been to the Middle East or any Middle Eastern restaurant, then Iโ€™m sure you have because itโ€™s almost always served.

I absolutely love it; the mix of fresh & fragrant salad ingredients with crispy pieces of flatbread is so so good.

I was inspired to post a version here for two reasons; First, itโ€™s boilingโ€“the heatwave is continuing and Iโ€™m craving lighter but still substantial and delicious dishes.

And second, I was inspired by a version of Fattoush salad that we made at the Waitrose cookery school with Gary, the executive chef from The Ivyโ€“which was fresh and delicious.

So, of course, Iโ€™ve added a few extras from the classic; roast squash, chickpeas, some Hazelnut Dukkah and a gorgeous coriander tahini dressing.

I think the result is wonderful, and really an entire meal with the roast squash, chickpeas and crispy pitta.

Enjoy and much love, Niki xx

    This was a stunningly beautiful, delectable salad. We LOVED all the unusual, creative agreements (never had a fattoush with pom seeds or butternut squash). Certainly made the most of the fresh produce picked up from the farmer’s market. I made the dukkah with pistachios since we’re trying your mushroom shawarma next. Thanks for a brilliant, filling meal.
