Fattoush Salad
Fattoush Salad is hands down one of my top 5 favorite things to eat. And it’s quite possibly the best salad on the face of the earth.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 1 pita pocket ripped into pieces
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground sumac
- 2 heads baby lettuce or butter lettuce
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 4 Persian cucumbers sliced
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
For the Sumac Dressing
- 4 teaspoons ground sumac soaked in 4 teaspoons warm water for 15 minutes
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
- 2 small garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Toss the ripped pita with the olive oil and sumac and scatter in an even layer on a small baking sheet. Place into the oven and toast for 10-15 minutes until the pita is crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a large bowl toss together the lettuce, green onions, tomatoes, cucumber, mint, and parsley.
- In another smaller bowl, water with soaked sumac, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, garlic, red wine vinegar and olive oil. Whisk to combine and season with salt as needed.
- Combine the dressing with the salad and gently combine until lightly dressed. Sprinkle the top of the salad with the toasted pita and serve immediately.
Notes
This is a great way to use up some stale bread because you are adding magnificent dressing to it.
