@SteamfitterStu Go by the written recipe. Early on, I learned that its better not to give measurements in my videos and just best to write them out, it's more accurate that way, let me know if you have any other questions ;)
By: dedemed
On your video you state 1 tablespoon mint, 2 tablespoons sumac, but your web site states 1 teaspoon mint, 2 teaspoons sumac. Please clarify. By the way, thank you for your videos!! Will also be trying your chicken shawarma recipe.

Hi Dede!! this looks like a great recipe! Before I give it a try I wanted to asked if you've ever heard of putting pomegranate molasses in the dressing? I've heard that people do that and it adds a great taste! Any idea how much of the pomegranate molasses I should add to the dressing mixture that you mention in this video?

I love Arabic cuisine, I learnt how to cook a lot of dishes when living as an Au Pair for an Iraqi family in Qatar. I never did fattoush, actually, but brought some Sumac back home in Mexico to make some, flavors are the best memory I can have from the Middle East. Thanks for the recipes, I'm checking out your website, I'm going to try PITA BREAD! One thing, using limes instead of lemons, is it ok? No lemons where I live... thanks!
