Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber
- 2 medium-sized Tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint
- 3 small Radishes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Sumac
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly brush the pita bread with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the pita bread on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Chop the romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, mint, and radishes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic clove, sumac, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and toss everything together well to coat the ingredients evenly.
Slice each crispy pita bread in half to form pockets, or leave them whole and cut along one edge to make an opening for stuffing.
Spread a thin layer of plain Greek yogurt inside each pita pocket to add creaminess and flavor.
Fill each pita pocket with a generous helping of the vegetable mixture and a spoonful of cooked chickpeas.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and crunchy Fattoush Pita Sandwich!
