Fattoush Bread Salad

Easy Middle Eastern fattoush! Crispy pita chips, fresh vegetables, and a tangy dressing. 30 minutes.

Using up bits of stale bread in dishes both sweet and savory is a frugal cook’s trick as old as bread itself. Though less well known than, say, Thanksgiving stuffing or bread pudding, bread salads fall in this category.
These satisfying salads are made by tossing together leftover bread, colorful vegetables, and a tangy dressing. Fattoush is a version of this salad made throughout the Middle East using leftover pita bread.
