Lebanese Fattoush Salad

I love salads, but sometimes they need a bit of tweaking to make them more appealing. The salad ingredients are the usual for a classic salad, except for the mint. I loved this addition. It brings a bright new flavor to the mix. Pita chips replacing croutons? I say yes! They brought another new element to the salad. The spices in the dressing were perfect. It was fresh and tangy. Hope you enjoy the new flavors and textures as much as we did.

Notes

This recipe called for a spice called Sumac. We replaced it with lemon pepper and coriander. We could not locate it. If you have it on hand, please replace the lemon pepper and coriander with 1 teaspoon of sumac.
