-This is the traditional recipe but I often tweak it. Add arugula instead of or in addition to the lettuce. Freshly torn basil leaves are great too. And chunks of ripe avocado make everything better.
-If you want to try the classic fattoush preparation, quickly deep-fry the pieces of pita bread instead of baking them. It is really delicious that way, but baking is so much easier and is just as tasty.
