i used chopped romaine lettuce out of the bag, one white/one red onion, and didn't have parsley. i've never been a big fan of sumac, so i cut back on that a bit. i cut up two pitas with a pizza cutter to make squares, drizzled them with olive oil, popped them in the oven for ten minutes, and added them after i had topped my veggies with the dressing to avoid the sogginess. my daughter and i both enjoyed this recipe, thanks!

Awesome recipe, just like our favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. Don't change a thing and make sure you use sumac powder, it isn't fatoosh without it!

Oh yeah! This must be the best Fattoush recipe on allrecipes.com even if they spelled it wrong! Love the dressing. Can mix and match the greens and veggies to your hearts content. I will use this recipe often!

10 STARS if I could! I love fatoosh and this dressing tastes just like my favorite authentic lebaneese restaraunts. Wouldnt' change a thing - I will make this ALL the time. Can't wait to make it in the summer without lettuce using only fresh tomatoes, cucs, green peppers and onions!

I love this salad! Everything tastes so fresh with the lemon juice and mint. Next time I will fry the pita bread in olive oil. I baked it in the oven until it was crisp. Easier this way, but it soaks up the dressing.

The dressing made the salad, and would make any salad great. I went to three stores yesterday to find the sumac, and not a one had it--so be forewarned! Now I'm tempted to order it online, because I thought for sure the specialty ethnic stores I went to would have it. Anyway, it was great without the sumac but I know it would be better with it. I made the dressing the night before the let the flavors develop. So good!

This recipe is great. I made it once wihtout sumac and mint and once without the mint. Both times it was great. My husband says half the lemon - not sure I agree.

This was exactly like the salad I get at my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant! The mint and sumac is absolutely necessary (in my humble opinion). The sumac was easy to find at an International market that I had no idea was near my house (just did a search online) and only $2 for a big bag. The salad is really colorful and will be perfect for company.

Very good. This salad was on the menu of one of my favorite restaurants so I was interested in trying it. I did not have sumac so omitted that altho I would like to try it. I used the recipe for Pita Chips from this site. One problem: store the pita chips out of sight or they may disappear before you have a chance to serve the salad.

Being originally from Syria, I thought this tasted just like the fatoosh my grandmother makes!! I don't like sumac, so I added some dried thyme instead. Very authentic recipe. (I've been using the dressing from this recipe on all my other salads because it's just that good)

Wow, was this fantastic! This was hands down one of the best recipes I have ever made off of allrecipes.com! The only thing I changed was that I added thinly sliced red onion for the scallions and added grape tomatoes instead of regular. This tasted just like the Lebanese restaurant I normally get it from. I could never figure out the particular spice, but I now know it's sumac. Thank you so much for such a great recipe!!

Located from Michigan to Texas and this is as close to a Fatoosh salad as you can get. Found sumac at Fiesta Grocery Store.

My husband is Palestinian and he adored this salad. I think I received the most compliments I have ever gotton on my cooking. The sumac really makes the dish.

Very fresh and different...maybe a little too different for me. I personally enjoyed the slight sogginess of the pita.
