A staple of Middle Eastern cuisines, fattoush is a chopped salad of tomato and crispy pita bread. Cucumbers, romaine, sumac, and lots of herbs are common additions. Once you know the basic formula (crispy pita + vegetables + herbs + dressing), you can mold and shape it into whatever you’re craving in the moment. This is my springtime riff with crispy chickpeas, asparagus, and radish that I can't stop making and eating. I absolutely adore the combination of flavors, textures, and colors — especially the rich creaminess of the za’atar yogurt sauce with all of the crispy, crunchy elements. Drizzle or spoon it over the salad versus tossing it in to get the greatest textural contrast.
