Fattoush Salad
Description
This Fattoush Salad recipe includes toasted pita bread chunks tossed with olive oil and sumac, baked until crisp. The salad base combines chopped romaine lettuce, cucumber, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped radishes. A dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, sumac, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley and mint is mixed with the vegetables to create a bright, flavorful salad.
The crispy pita chips add a crunchy texture and a touch of smoky sourness from sumac seasoning. The fresh herbs impart fragrance and freshness that complement the tangy lemon and garlic dressing. This salad serves as a refreshing side or a light meal, especially when accompanied by hummus or grilled proteins.
Adding crumbled goat cheese or plant-based proteins like chickpeas or lentils can enhance richness or protein content while keeping the dish vegetarian. Using high-quality olive oil improves dressing flavor, and finishing with pomegranate seeds adds color and sweetness.
