Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 5 pieces Radishes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 teaspoons Sumac
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the pita bread into small triangles or bite-sized pieces and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the pita pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat evenly. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Set aside to cool.
While the pita chips bake, wash and prepare your vegetables. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, thinly slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and radishes, and finely dice the red onion.
Roughly chop the parsley and mint leaves, and thinly slice the green onions.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sumac, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, grated garlic, remaining salt, and black pepper.
In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, red onion, parsley, mint, and green onions.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients.
Add the crispy pita chips just before serving to maintain their crunch. Toss lightly one last time.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, tangy, and refreshing flavors of this classic Lebanese Fattoush Bread Salad.
