Every family in Lebanon has their fattoush recipe, and every family thinks theirs is the best. Jeddo was no different. His secret wasn't a secret ingredient — it was timing.
"Soggy bread is a crime," he'd say. "The crunch is the whole point."
This recipe serves 4-6 as a side, or 2-3 as a main with extra bread.
Jeddo's rules:
- Tear the lettuce, never cut it
- The tomatoes must be room temperature
- Sumac is not optional
- Eat it immediately
