Reviews

This salad is wonderful - piquant from pickled pepperoncinis, salty from the kalamatas & feta & gently crispy from the cucumber ( I seeded both of mine). I did add about 2 T minced fresh mint - had it & needed to use it up - and left out the pitas. I served this as a foil for recipe #206595. It balanced the unctuousness of the lamb & sweetness of the raisins perfectly. This fattoush is a keeper! I will be making again - thank you ChampagneLiz!
