Fattoush Salad with Chickpeas

A fattoush salad traditionally is made with crispy toasted bread or pita, lettuce, herbs and other vegetables finished with a tangy, zesty dressing. While this recipe has many common fattoush salad flavors and ingredients like sumac, you will notice this rendition has chickpeas instead of bread. You can’t go wrong by adding bread or even grilled chicken breast to this meal. I think you will enjoy the satisfying addition of chickpeas.
