- Yield: 6 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegan
Description
This classic Middle Eastern fattoush salad is a speedy, flavorful, and balanced dish, featuring crisp pita, fresh vegetables, and a tangy sumac dressing, perfect for a healthy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 2–3 rounds pita bread (150-200g), torn into bite-sized pieces
- 8 cups mixed greens (225g, e.g., crisp romaine)
- 1 medium English cucumber (200g)
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes (300g)
- 4–6 small radishes (50g)
- 1 bell pepper, any color (150g)
- 0.25 small red onion (25g)
- 0.25 cup fresh mint (10g chopped)
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley (20g chopped)
- 0.5 cup olive oil (120ml), plus drizzle for pita
- 0.25 cup lemon juice (60ml)
- 1–2 tbsp sumac (8-16g)
- 1 clove minced garlic (5g)
- 0.5 tsp salt (3g), plus pinch for pita
- 0.25 tsp black pepper (0.5g), plus pinch for pita
Instructions
- Prep the Pita: Gently tear pita bread into bite-sized pieces. Toss the torn pita with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread the pieces in a single layer on a large sheet pan or in an air fryer basket. Bake at 375°F (190°C) or air fry at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown and crisp.
- Chop the Vegetables: Wash and chop all remaining vegetables (romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, bell peppers, red onion, mint, parsley) into bite-sized pieces, aiming for uniform sizes for even distribution.
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, sumac, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and slightly emulsified.
- Assemble and Dress: In a large salad bowl, combine all the chopped vegetables and herbs. Add the toasted pita pieces. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are coated and glistening.
Notes
For best flavor, use seasonal, ripe ingredients and high-quality extra virgin olive oil and fresh sumac. If the salad seems dry, add a touch more olive oil and lemon juice to the dressing. If bland, adjust seasoning with more sumac, salt, or garlic powder. To prevent sogginess, ensure pita is added just before serving and serve immediately after dressing.
