Fattoush Salad Directions

  2. Separate each pita loaf and slice into 1-inch squares. Spread onto baking sheets and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sumac. Toast in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until light brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
  3. Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, mint, parsley, radishes, green pepper, and lettuce in a large bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons of sumac, and a pinch of salt. Drizzle in the 1/3 cup of olive oil and whisk to combine. Taste and add more salt as needed.
  5. Add the toasted pita to the large bowl of vegetables, and gently toss to combine. Drizzle with dressing, and toss to coat. Serve immediately, so the bread doesn’t get soggy.
