Fattoush is a Middle Eastern garden salad given a bit more substance by the addition of toasted or fried pieces of flatbread. The tangy dressing is flavoured with lots of ground sumac, and together it makes a lovely light lunch on its own, or you could eat it as part of a mini mezze with some hummus, olives and flatbreads.

FATTOUSH BLEND (1 portion = 2 tbsp): sumac, mint, oregano, black pepper, allspice, mild chilli flakes, oil, salt, Urfa chilli, oil, salt, red bell pepper

May contain CELERY, MUSTARD and SESAME. Allergens are listed in CAPITALS
