Every Tuesday morning I awake with the knowledge that today is lunch with friends. We visit and share stories with each other and then order lunch. We all have the same thing, we are happy as the process begins with the arrival of hot freshly baked pita pocket bread.

Soon the garlic, lemon, and pickles arrive. Then the Chicken Shawarma Fattoush Salad makes an entrance. Our eyes light up, our taste buds begin to respond and we begin the process of building our lunch sandwiches. (485.1 calories per serving)

I am living in an area rich in cultural diversity and therefore blessed to experience many cuisines, one of which is middle eastern. This salad is my absolute favorite!
