Fattoush

Fattoush is a Lebanese salad, good for hot weather. The recipe uses two unusual ingredients: sumac and purslane. Ground sumac consists of the red sumac berries, and it used in Middle Eastern, particularly Lebanese, cooking. Purslane is a succulent with a lemony flavor, and it makes a nice salad green.
