Description
Change up your chopped salad with fattoush. Popular across the Middle East, it features lots of veggies and herbs, crunchy toasted pita bread, and ground sumac, a tart red berry that makes the flavors pop. The salad is flexible — choose your favorite color of pepper, chop the vegetables small or larger, and toast extra pita bread if you want more crunch. Buy the sumac at well-stocked grocery stores, Middle Eastern markets, or online. The recipe, which makes 13 cups, is a Yummly original created by Rania Renno.
Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic (medium)
- 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. ground sumac
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 pita bread (round)
- 1 head romaine lettuce (1 lb.)
- 1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes (2 medium)
- 1 1/2 cups diced cucumber (about 2/3 of an English cucumber; or use Persian or other type)
- 1 cup diced bell pepper (red, green, or another color)
- 3/4 cup radishes (diced, about 5 radishes)
- 3/4 cup fresh parsley (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (thinly sliced)
- 4 green onions (chopped)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Crush garlic and put in a small bowl. Juice lemons and add to bowl along with olive oil, sumac, and salt. Whisk dressing together, then set aside to rest while you prepare the salad.
- Put pita on a baking sheet. Toast pita in oven, flipping it every 3 minutes, until it’s golden brown, hard, and crisp enough to break into pieces, 15-18 minutes total. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, chop lettuce and add to a large bowl. Then add tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, radishes, parsley, mint, and green onions. If making salad ahead, chill, covered, 1-2 hours.
- Using your hands, break pita bread into bite-sized pieces, then set aside.
- Just before serving, give the salad dressing one final whisk and toss it with the salad. Add pita pieces, toss again, and serve immediately to ensure bread remains crisp.
