Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 2 medium Cucumbers
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 5 small Radishes
- 1 bunch Parsley
- 0.5 bunch Mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Sumac
- 1 teaspoon Pomegranate molasses (optional)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into bite-sized squares or strips. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Spread the pita pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
While the pita crisps, prepare the vegetables. Dice the tomatoes, cucumbers, and green bell pepper into small, uniform pieces. Thinly slice the radishes and red onion.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. Set the chopped vegetables and herbs aside in a large salad bowl.
To prepare the dressing, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, finely minced garlic, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and ground black pepper. If using pomegranate molasses, stir it in as well for an extra tangy kick.
Just before serving, add the crispy pita pieces to the salad bowl, pour the dressing over the top, and toss everything together gently to coat.
Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of crunchy, tangy, and fresh flavors of Palestinian Fattoush!
