Farmers Market Fattoush

This is my take on a traditional Levantine bread salad except in my version the bread part is completely optional. What makes this salad so delicious is the mixture of crunchy raw vegetables tossed in bright vinaigrette sprinkled with creamy French feta and crunchy pita chips. You can make this salad with whatever farmer’s market vegetables you have on hand - I play with different combinations all the time - I encourage you to get creative!
