Fattoush is a show stopping salad for Easter lunch. Made with salad leaves, cucumbers, radishes and tomatoes, leftover bread is fried and added before serving. The secret ingredients are the citrusy sumac scattered on top and the tangy pomegranate molasses mixed with the gentle peppery extra virgin olive oil from Zejd. Happy Easter feasting!

We have enjoyed eating mixed beans and grains during Lent. This recipe, taken from Barbara Massaad's Beirut Forever, is a typical dish from rural Lebanon. If you're trying to increase your fibre, and cut down on animal protein, give this dish a go! Don't forget to finish it off with a generous lake of Zejd's extra virgin olive oil.
