The Recipe for Lebanese Sumac Salad "Fattoush" Terre Exotique Style

Here's a typical recipe that could illustrate the values of Terre Exotique: the marriage of civilizations and gastronomy. We chose to add Voatsiperifery pepper to this recipe for its fresh and mild taste that allows the flavors of the ingredients to shine while adding a subtly peppery touch.

We selected garlic bear's garlic sea salt for its mild garlic aromas that pair perfectly with cucumber and mint.

• 1 bunch of lamb's lettuce;
• 1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley;
• 1 bunch of fresh mint;
• 1 cucumber;
• 1 bunch of radishes;
