Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 5 pieces Radishes
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon Sumac
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into small triangles or strips and place them on a baking tray.
Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the pita pieces, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and toss to coat evenly.
Bake the pita bread in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Dice the tomatoes and cucumber into small cubes and add them to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and radishes, then add them to the salad bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves, and toss them into the bowl with the other vegetables.
To make the dressing, whisk together the sumac, lemon juice, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, ground black pepper, and 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Add the toasted pita bread to the salad just before serving to maintain its crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and tangy Fattoush Toasted Pita Bread Salad!
