Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita Bread
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 head Romaine Lettuce
- 1 large Cucumber
- 2 large Tomatoes
- 5 pieces Radishes
- 0.5 medium Red Onion
- 0.5 cup Parsley
- 0.25 cup Mint Leaves
- 2 teaspoons Sumac
- 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 0.25 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the pita bread into small triangles or strips, about 1-2 inches in size.
Place the pita pieces on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toss the pita pieces to coat them evenly with the oil, then spread them out in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the pita pieces are crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds or half-moons and add to the salad bowl.
Dice the tomatoes into chunks and slice the radishes thinly, adding both to the bowl with the lettuce and cucumber.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad.
Chop the parsley and mint leaves finely, then add them to the salad for fresh aroma.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sumac, lemon juice, salt, ground black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together to evenly distribute the flavors.
Add the crispy pita pieces to the salad just before serving to maintain their crunch.
Serve the fatoush salad immediately and enjoy this refreshing, crispy, and flavorful dish.
