  Hi, I'm wondering from where did you get the recipe name, it's Syrian recipe and the ingredients are quite different. it's contain: roasted flat bread, parsley, Purslane, lettuce, fresh mint, tomato, spring onion, cucumber, green paper, red paper, radish, sumac. The souse: vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, dried mint, salt, garlic, onion. If anybody needs the quite quantities just let me know.

  Lovely flavours. We had it with falafel, couscous, flatbreads and another green salad. I left the feta out cuz I'm vegan, and instead of using toasted pitta I dipped it in a lemon juice and olive oil vinaigrette and baked the pieces in the oven to make kind of pitta croutons. Skinning the broad beans is a faff, but worth it, I think. You just have to allow plenty of time.

  A very tasty salad, although I am not sure I cooked the broad beans long enough as they were a little bit crunchy!!

  Great salad used endame and cress instead of broad bean and mint as I had neither and still surprisingly tasty! Great for packed lunch and making you feel self righteously healthy. So easy

  I just couldn't get my head round the whole broad bean obsession TV chefs seem to have until I read somewhere that you should double pod them ie removing the tough greyish skin. So i gave it a go and low and behold underneath that bitter skin in a glorious emerald bean that is sweet and tender. A bit of hassle peeeling a bag of broad beans but quite therapeutic and delicious in this recipe.

  This is a lovely salad, although I did modify it a bit. I used peas instead of broad beans and changed the cheese to either Wensleydale or Lancashire. I also made a yogurty mint dressing as well. I have made this twice now, and the second time I added chicken and salami to it. Me and my hubby both love this and regard it as a NOM salad, because you can't help making that sound when you eat it

  I dont know how that one taste, but the original fattoush in middle eastern cuisine especially lebanese, do it in a completely different way. They chop lettuce, cucumber, tomato, parsley, lambs lettuce, raddish, spring onion, mint, sweet pepper of your choice. Then the dressing differs: 1. mashed garlic + lemon juice + vinegar + olive oil + salt + sumac. 2. mashed garlic + lemon juice + olive oil + salt + pomegrante molasses. both taste nice but i prefer dressing 2...
