Fattoush This heart-friendly salad is packed with fresh vegetables, tossed in a zesty, lemon dressing and topped with crispy bread. All the veggies that make up this mouth-watering salad contain many nutrients, especially fibre which helps lower cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose levels. Fattoush is light and fresh, and is a popular choice to have throughout the month of Ramadan. Having the exact same salad everyday for a month might seem a little bit excessive but, for many of us, iftar is not complete without it.
