fatoush_saladThis salad can be eaten as a meal by itself, or as a side dish.  All the vegetables in this recipe hold their shape and crispness longer than lettuce.  So if you go to the grocery store once a week, you can still use the vegetables towards the end of the week and not worry about them going bad. Further, the veggies in this recipe are high in nutrients.  You can also add a few ounces of grilled chicken to make it a little more filling.
