Many cuisines have a bread salad made from peak produce and stale or toasted bread, all tossed together for a meal made of what’s in season and what’s around. Fattoush is no different, except that the addition of toasted pita and loads of fresh herbs make fresh summer produce — think juicy tomatoes and cool, crunchy radishes and cucumber — blush with flavor.

I recently had friends over for a cookout and served this fattoush alongside a grilled flank steak. Not a single morsel of this salad was left. Even my husband, a salad skeptic, said this salad was game-changing.

Incorporating some wisdom from Samin Norsat, of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat fame, this version of fattoush is sublime, easy-to-make, and likely to be your new go-to summer salad. In this recipe, you’ll get some guidance on choosing the best produce for the job, a lesson in seasoning from Samin, and the secret to adding the element of heat in raw salads. Let’s get started.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
