Here are a few tips
•    Pita bread slices called Pita chips fried in garlic oil can be mixed with the Fattoush salad to add to the crunch of the delicacy.
•    And the typical Syrian way of eating fattoush is taking a spoonful in a lettuce leaf, wrapping it up and taking in the crunch of the ‘lettuced’  Fattoush.
•    Tart berries(sumac bush) can also be added to the salad to make it richly Lebanese, as these fruits are added to most of the mid-east dishes.
•    Mujaddara, a variety of Lebanese rice (made from basmati rice, brown lentils , onions, cumin and a mix of spices) is a Middle –east specialty and Fattoush salad is a good way to complement it.
•    Fattoush can form a tantalizing accompaniment to mezze (an assortment of small dishes generally appetizers of Mediterranean / middle-east origin) with tzatziki dip to side with.
•    If you are looking for a good side for your lamb kofta (minced lamb spiced up with onion, garlic and made into sausages ) Fattoush is a good way to spruce up the curry.
