Fattoush

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs Pita Bread
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 pcs Romaine Lettuce
  • 2 pcs Tomato
  • 1 pcs Cucumber
  • 4 pcs Radish
  • 2 pcs Green Onion
  • 8 tbsp Parsley
  • 4 tbsp Mint
  • 1 pcs Garlic
  • 3 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2.5 tsp Sumac
  • 1 tbsp Pomegranate Molasses

Method

  1. Brush {pita_bread} with {olive_oil}, season lightly with {kosher_salt}, and toast in a large skillet over medium heat for several minutes per side until deeply golden and crisp. Transfer to a rack so the pieces stay crunchy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine {romaine_lettuce}, {tomato}, {cucumber}, {radish}, {green_onion}, {parsley}, and {mint}. Season the vegetables lightly with {kosher_salt} as you build the bowl so they taste lively all the way through.
  3. Whisk {garlic}, {lemon_juice}, {sumac}, {pomegranate_molasses}, and {olive_oil} in a small bowl until the dressing looks glossy and lightly thickened. Add a pinch of {kosher_salt} and taste for a sharp lemony balance.
  4. Break {pita_bread} into rough shards over the bowl, pour over the dressing, and toss with the vegetables until every leaf is lightly coated. Finish with an extra pinch of {sumac} and serve right away while the {pita_bread} stays crisp.
