This Rainbow Quinoa Fattoush Salad is a vibrant, nutritious, and utterly delicious twist on a Middle Eastern classic. Nutty, protein-rich quinoa is tossed with all the traditional fattoush ingredients: crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, radishes, bell peppers, and fresh herbs like mint and parsley. The salad gets its signature crunch from baked or fried pieces of pita bread. The dressing is a bright, tangy combination of lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and the distinct, lemony flavor of ground sumac. This salad is a complete meal on its own, perfect for a healthy lunch, a light dinner, or a stunning side dish for grilled meats. It's halal, vegetarian, and packed with fresh flavors and textures.
