Fattoush

I believe that this recipe connects to BRIDGES because it is a cultural dish which brings people together. In my country Lebanon my grandparents would always make it for me and my cousins during lunch time and make it everyday in the month of Ramadan (which is one of the five pillars of Islam where Muslims must fast in the 9th month in the Islamic calendar no water or food from dusk till dawn) it reminds me of all the good memories where we all eat together wherever you are from or what you look like dosent matter. I always share it with my friends whenever they come over! And am always welcomed to give it to visitors. This recipe was passed down from many generations in my home country Lebanon and is a very popular dish to serve to people visiting from other countries to Lebanon. The growth of sharing it with others and future generations, the diversity of people eating and enjoying it, the equity of people unable to participate can participate making it now, the belongingness of where I am from, the restoration it brings to our stomachs in the month of Ramadan, and the sustainability to share with everyone and spread our culture to other people.
