Greek Fattoush Salad
The best of both worlds! Two Mediterranean salads, Greek and fattoush, come together in this refreshing (and easy!) recipe.
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 2 whole wheat pitas or flatbread rounds white works fine, too
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1 cucumber peeled, quartered, and sliced, medium
- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into ¾-inch chunks
- ½ pint cherry tomato halved; 1 cup
- ½ red onion thinly sliced, small
- ½ cup flat Italian parsley leaves
- ½ cup kalamata olives halved
- ¾ cup feta cheese crumbled
For the dressing:
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 garlic minced, small clove
- ½ tsp oregano dried
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut the pitas in half and place them on a baking sheet. Bake, turning once, until golden brown and toasted, 10–15 minutes. Let cool.
- Break or cut the toasted pitas into bite-size (1-inch) pieces. Add them to a medium bowl and drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bread. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with kosher salt and toss again to distribute. Set aside.
- To a large bowl, add the lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, parsley, and olives. Toss.
- Make the vinaigrette. To a small bowl, add the ⅓ cup olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended.
- Add the pita bread pieces and the feta to the salad. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the top. Toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
