Fattouch

You can vary the recipie by using slightly different salad ingredients, sometimes I just use tomatoe, basil and cucumber.  Do what suites your family.  You can make this up the the lebanese bread, and leave it in the fridge.  Then at the last minute microwave the bread and toss.

Another variation, which makes it a full meal is to add chick peas.  The mint and parsley can be chopped (or not!) as finely as you like it, and you can sprinkle the sumac on the top if you prefer.
