I am also a big fan of the fattoush – a salad of mixed herbs and packed with grilled pitta bread. Often make this recipe in the spring/ summer months as it is light and quick to make. I griddle the pitta bread to give it a real charred taste. The sumac and lemon dressing is where the flavour is really at!
