Fattoush Salad


To go with Armenian potato salad, baba ganoush, and lavash, my mom and I went off of Joumana's recipe to make a fattoush salad.  We skipped the raw peppers and reduced the sumac, and we used lavash, garlic powder, and watercress rather (respectively) pita, fresh garlic, and purslane.  I find that garlic powder is mush milder and easier to mix when you're making dressings.
