Eggplant Fattoush Salad

Cultural Context

Fattoush is a traditional Lebanese salad that showcases the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean. Originating from the Levant, this salad was historically a way to use up leftover bread and vegetables. The addition of roasted eggplant adds a rich, smoky flavor that complements the fresh ingredients. Today, Fattoush is enjoyed worldwide, often featuring variations with different herbs and dressings, but it remains a staple in Lebanese cuisine, celebrated for its refreshing taste and health benefits.
