DANIELLE'S FATTOUSH SALAD

Danielle's Fattoush Salad image

My personal take on Lebanese fattoush salad. A refreshing and healthy salad with lots of flavor. To make this salad into a hearty meal, add strips of grilled chicken or white fish. Makes a great side dish to any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean-style cuisine.
