Equipment
Ingredients
Dressing:
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground sumac
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic pressed
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon dried mint
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Fattoush Salad:
- 1 large pita pocket chopped into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon za’atar seasoning
- 2 Persian cucumbers chopped
- 2 Roma tomatoes chopped
- 5 radishes diced
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1 large head of romaine lettuce chopped (or 2 smaller hearts)
Instructions
- DRESSING: In a mason jar, add all the ingredients for the dressing and shake to combine. You can also add the ingredients to a blender and blend, the dressing stays better emulsified that way!
- PITA CHIPS: Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the pita pieces and cook for 4-6 minutes, flipping often until the pita is fried and crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and the za’atar seasoning. Remove pita to a plate for later.
- FATTOUSH SALAD: Toss the ingredients for the salad in a bowl. If the dressing has separated, give it a few shake before drizzling on the salad. You may not need all the dressing depending on how dressed you prefer your salad. Top with pita pieces and serve immediately.
Notes
- This makes some extra dressing, depending on your preference you may or may not need all of it.
- You can add in diced or shredded rotisserie or cooked chicken to make this salad more of a heartier meal. If serving as a main if you up the lettuce to 2 1/2 or even 3 hearts of romaine, it will feed about 3-4 people.
