Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint
- 3 small Radishes
- 1 teaspoon Sumac
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into bite-sized strips or triangles and lay them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the bread pieces and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Toss lightly to coat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the pita pieces are golden brown and crispy. Set aside to cool.
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Dice the cucumber and tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and slice the radishes into rounds. Add them to the salad bowl.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, then add them to the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, sumac, ground black pepper, and the remaining salt.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Add the crispy pita pieces just before serving to maintain their crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fabulous Fattoush!
