If you’ve been a long time reader here on WGC – you know I love a fattoush! A fattoush is a classic Middle Eastern Salad with greens, herbs, veggies and fried pita bread. It comes with a sumac dressing and the combo of flavors from the pita and the sumac make this salad soar. Today this Stone Fruit Summer Fattoush is getting a summer spin with perfectly ripe stone fruit. We’ve still got the toasty pita, the herbs, the greens, the veggies etc… but that extra added sweetness from the peaches, plums, nectarines or apricots make this an epic salad for summer.

I love to serve this alongside some roasted salmon, bbq chicken or just solo in a giant bowl!
