Preparation
Toast or fry two pieces of flatbread cut into triangles until nicely golden and crisp, then let them cool.
Cut the tomato, cucumber and lettuce into pieces, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the parsley and mint.
Mix all the vegetables and herbs in a large bowl.
Season with lemon juice, olive oil and a good pinch of sumac — that tangy touch is fattoush's signature.
Add the crispy bread just before serving, so it keeps all its crunch.
