Personal Notes:
Fetoosh is a wonderful summer salad. Most of the ingredients can be picked from the garden and the taste is very refreshing. When we lived in Lebanon, my grandmother Teta Najla used to go out to her beautiful garden in Ghidrais, where she spent much of her time, and pick the lettuce, cucumbers, parsley, tomatoes, mint and onion. Then, my sister and I would wash the vegetables and watch her and Imme make the salad. We often ate Fetoosh with mishwe (shish kabob and barbecued chicken). The combination was a beautiful representation of summer.
