Ingredients

Ingredients For Salad Dressing

  • ⅛ Cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chopped mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sumac or za'tar spice mix
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper or to taste

Ingredients For Salad

  • 2 Cup chopped Romaine lettuce
  • ½ Cup chopped cucumber
  • ½ Cup chopped tomato, discard pulp
  • ½ Cup chopped onion
  • ½ Cup chopped red radish
  • ½ Cup chopped bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 Cup pita chips

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients for dressing/vinaigrette (olive oil, lemon juice, molasses, sumac, salt, pepper, garlic, mint) to a bottle. Close the lid. Shake it for 30 – 40 seconds to emulsify oil and lemon juice. Taste and add more seasoning if required. You can whisk the dressing in a bowl, also.
  • Cut the pita bread into the desired shapes (triangles, squares or strips). Toss with olive oil and salt. Now you can pan-fry them, toast them in an oven, or air-fry them till crisp. If using readymade pita chips, skip this step.
  • Add all the chopped vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Pour dressing and finely chopped fresh herbs. Gently toss the salad.
  • Add pita chips just before serving, toss one last time, and the fattoush salad is ready.

Notes

  • Please make sure all the vegetables are finely chopped and of equal size, as it defines the salad’s texture.
  • You can prepare dressing, pita chips, and salad two days before. Assemble it just before serving to avoid a soggy salad.
  • You can substitute sumac with za’atar spice mix and pomegranate molasses with honey, maple, or brown sugar syrup.
