Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Cucumber
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 5 small Radishes
- 0.5 bunch Parsley
- 0.25 cup Mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Pomegranate molasses
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground sumac
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into small bite-sized squares or triangles.
Place the pita pieces on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and toss to coat.
Bake the pita in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Set aside to cool.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, and add to the salad bowl.
Dice the tomatoes, slice the red onion into thin strips, and thinly slice the radishes. Add all these to the salad bowl.
Roughly chop the parsley and mint leaves, and sprinkle them over the vegetables.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, ground sumac, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are well coated.
Add the toasted pita pieces to the salad just before serving to keep them crunchy.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, tangy Lebanese Fatoush Salad!
