Perfect Weeknight Dinner

I love a good fattoush salad and crave it every year when it's tomato season. Tonight I finally made it happen. I love this recipe because you can prep/chop all the ingredients and extra dressing and then you can whip together a fattoush salad for lunch or dinner very quickly for the rest of the week. I served this with chicken paillard and grilled asparagus for dinner. Perfection!
