Fattoush

This salad was something very different than what I've made before. I cut back a little bit on the buttermilk and would suggest doing the same as the salad is a bit moist otherwise. If you don't have buttermilk, he recommends substituting yogurt (1 cup) and milk (3/4 cup) and letting them mix together for at least 3 hours. I didn't have dried mint, so I left that out. My better half found the acid in this a bit much, but it didn't bother me. If you're less of a fan of acid, you might scale back the vinegar a bit.
