Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 5 pieces Radishes
- 1 small Red onion
- 15 grams Parsley
- 10 grams Mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Sumac
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into small triangles or strips. Place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of salt over the pita pieces. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Set aside to cool.
Wash and dry all the vegetables.
Coarsely chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into half-moons. Add them to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the radishes and small red onion; add them to the salad bowl.
Roughly chop the parsley and mint leaves, then add them to the salad mix.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sumac, minced garlic, remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and ground black pepper.
Whisk the dressing well until it's emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad vegetables and toss everything gently until well combined.
Just before serving, add the crispy pita chips to maintain their crunchiness.
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve the Fattoush Salad immediately.
