I crave eating this salad as a sank at work. I sometimes tell myself that when I go home, I will prepare it. If you go to any middle eastern restaurant, you will find Fattoush. It is great to eat it alone or with BBQ Fattoush, a much-loved salad in Middle Eastern and Turkish cuisine, has a special spot in my preferences.

Ingredients

  • 1 heart of romaine lettuce chopped
  • A big handful of arugula chopped (trim the root ends)
  • A handful of parsley chopped (trim the root ends)
  • 4 radishes diced
  • A few green mint leaves chopped
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • A few green onions finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
  • ¼ whole wheat pita bread grilled in the air fryer (break it into small pieces) Note: Make sure the bread is crispy
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 2 fresh lemons

Instructions

  • Start by giving your vegetables a good rinse. You can use vinegar to wash them, which helps remove any dirt or residue.
    After washing, dry the vegetables thoroughly using a salad spinner or paper towels. Dry vegetables make for a crisper salad.
  • Chop the assorted fresh vegetables into bite-sized pieces. You can mix and match vegetables according to your preferences.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped vegetables.
  • Pour in the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and Sumac to the vegetables. Give it a good mix to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
  • Place the grilled pita bread pieces on top of the salad. I use whole wheat pita bread
  • Drizzle the pomegranate molasses over the grilled bread. It gives it an amazing taste
  • Your delicious salad is ready to be enjoyed! I just finished eating this delightful salad before writing this sentence.
