Lebanese Tomato Salad (Fatoush)
What you need:
4 tomatoes
1/2 cucumber
2 cloves garlic
1/8 cup green onions
dash of salt
juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon oil of choice (I use flaxseed or olive oil)
1/4 cup fresh mint
1/8 cup fresh parsley
toasted or stale pita bread
What you do:
Chop tomatoes, cucumber, green onions and herbs.
Pound garlic and salt together to form a paste. I use a pestle and a mortar.
Mix garlic/salt and chopped ingredients.
Add oil and toss. Add lemon juice and toss. Salad will be very juicy.
Just before serving, tear pita into bite size pieces and toss with salad. Bread will soak up juices.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
holllllllly crap man this was good. i put raw corn instead of cucumbers because i didn't have any, and it turned out yummmmy delicious. ::)
A really good restaurant in Northampton, MA called Cafe Lebanon, they use SUMAC SPICE.
Yummy salad, love it! ;D I love salads!
I make a similar version to this all the time, it's so delicious and healthy. As a tip, chuck in a can of chickpeas as well. It bulks it up and adds some protein, but then I'll use any excuse to eat more chickpeas.
Absolutely delicious, I don't usually like raw tomatoes much, but, WOW! ;)Fantastic, thank you.
