It’s the delicious dressing that makes or breaks this traditional Middle Eastern bread salad. It must be flavorful, heavily dressed, and tossed to slightly soften the toasted pita bread, and combined with garden fresh crisp romaine, cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes. I was first introduced to sumac, the star spice in Fattoush Salad dressing, at a Persian restaurant in Chicago. Every table had a shaker bottle full of this red ground lemony flavored spice. It is used to brighten the flavors of kebabs, tops every plate of creamy hummus, and completes the dressing on Fattoush Salad.
