   As you know, I'm at it again! Only this time, I'm comin' at'chya' with a tale of two salads. Well, one extremely healthy, yet delicious salad, but done both ways! Yes! It's Fattoush Salad!

It is known as a Levantine vegetarian salad made of tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, mint, Bulgar, and onion, and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Some variations add garlic or lettuce, or use couscous instead of Bulgar. This is a traditional recipe.
