Lebanese Bread Salad (fattoush) RAW VEGAN- 80/10/10 ok



Most people are familar with tthe the Italian bread salad called Panzanella, but the Lebanese make a version too called Fattoush.  It is made with toated pita and beans usually, which is fine if your doing the vegan thing or transitioning.  I have improvised the traditional to a raw vegan version that is equally as good if not better!! This is a great salad to entertain with or serve family style.  I served the salad on top of some shaved romaine and ate it for lunch. Yummy:)
