Fattoush Lebanese Bread Salad
Ingredients:
1 Head of lettuce
2 Tomatoes, diced
2 Small cucumbers, diced
1 Red onion, diced
1 Handful of parsley, chopped
1 Handful of mint, chopped
2 Pieces of pita bread
A sprinkle of sumac and olive oil for bread
1 to 2 Cloves of garlic
1/4 Cup Lemon juice
1/4 Cup Olive oil
1 Tsp Sumac
Pinch of salt
A few drops of pomegranate molasses
Directions:
Separate the pita bread and then lightly coat with olive oil and sprinkle with sumac. Cut pita into small squares and bake until they are lightly brown (~5 mins at 400F).
Add all salad ingredients to a large bowl. Make the dressing by adding all ingredients to a blender or finely dice garlic and whisk ingredients until blended.
Pour half the dressing onto the salad and toss to coat. Put salad into a serving bowl, top with toasted pita bread, then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Garnish with a little sprinkle of sumac and enjoy!
