Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Lebanese cucumbers
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 5 Radishes
- 3 Green onions
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley
- 1 bunch Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Sumac
- 0.5 teaspoon Granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the pita bread into small triangles or strips. Spread them onto a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the pita pieces are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, wash and prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumbers into half moons, dice the tomatoes, shred the romaine lettuce, dice the green bell pepper, thinly slice the radishes, and chop the green onions.
Chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves finely, removing any tough stems.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sumac, granulated garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, green bell pepper, radishes, and green onions.
Add the chopped parsley and mint leaves to the vegetable mixture.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Add the toasted pita to the salad just before serving to maintain their crispiness and give one final toss.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavors of this Vegan Fatoush Salad!
