Ingredients
- 2 pita breads
- 2 tbsp olive oil for pita
- 1 romaine heart, chopped
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 4 radishes
- 2 scallions
- 1/4 cup mint leaves
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp olive oil for dressing
- 1 tsp sumac
- 1 tsp pomegranate molasses
- Salt to taste
Method
- Heat oven to 375°F. Tear pita into pieces, toss with 2 tablespoons oil and bake 8–12 minutes until crisp. Cool.
- Chop washed vegetables into bite-size pieces and combine with mint in a large bowl.
- Whisk lemon, dressing oil, sumac and molasses. Taste and add salt.
- Toss salad with dressing, then fold in pita immediately before serving. Keep leftovers chilled, with spare pita stored separately.
A better result
Sumac provides tartness, not heat. Taste the dressing before increasing lemon because molasses and sumac also contribute acidity.
Serve it together
Pair fattoush with roasted chicken or kebabs. Order a prepared salad to bring freshness to your savory selection.
