Ingredients
- 2 heads romaine lettuce
- 2 Persian cucumbers
- 2 cup roma tomatoes
- 1/2 red onion chopped
- 1 red bell pepper
- 6 cup radishes
- 1/2 cup parsley
- 1/2 cup mint
- 4 green onions
- 2 pita bread
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sumac
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 4 tbsp pomegranate molasses
Instructions
- Chop romaine lettuce and place it in a large bowl.
- Chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion and red bell pepper into small pieces. Slice the radishes into half moons and finely chop the parsley, mint and green onions. Add all the vegetables to the lettuce and give it a good toss.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush olive oil on both sides of pita breads. Tear them using your hands and place them in the pan. Toast the pieces on both sides until they're golden brown and crispy. Set them aside.
- Make the dressing - In a bowl mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, sumac and pomegranate molasses. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
- Top with the toasted pita and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you decide to serve fattoush later, make the salad but don't mix it with the dressing or the toasted pita. When ready to serve, toss the salad with the dressing and toasted pita and serve immediately. That being said, it's best to make fattoush right before serving so all the ingredients are fresh.
- You can make the toasted pita ahead of time using homemade pita or store-bought. However, it's always best to make it fresh so it's crispy. It's best to let pita become a bit stale before frying it for this Lebanese fattoush salad. Alternatively, you can use pita chips for this recipe.
- Use fresh vegetables to make this recipe. You can use any type of vegetable you have on hand, such as bell peppers, dill, different types of lettuce and tomatoes.
- Don't skip the sumac as it's the main ingredient for the dressing used in this recipe.
