For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the pita bread before toasting it in the oven. A light char adds a smoky dimension to the salad. Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like dill or cilantro to customize the flavor profile to your liking. If you don't have sumac on hand, you can substitute it with a pinch of lemon zest for a similar tangy note. Fattoush is best enjoyed fresh, as the pita bread can become soggy if dressed too far in advance. Dress the salad just before serving for optimal texture.
