Quite a few years ago, I used to work at a bank in Troy, MI and there used to be a Lebanese restaurant called La Shish nearby. Fattoush is a version of bread salad made throughout the Middle East using leftover pita bread. The pita flatbreads are cut into pieces and either fried or baked before being tossed with fresh vegetables. Fattoush Lebanese Salad has cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, and toasted low-carb pita chips, and it's flavored with lemon juice and Sumac.
Steps to make Fatoush Salad:
- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil on medium heat. Add the pita bread and season with salt and paprika - Fry the pita for 5-7 minutes until the pieces are crispy and golden in colour. (Alternatively, bake the pita bread at 425F° for 5-10 minutes.) Set the fried bread aside.
- In a large bowl, add the salad dressing ingredients: olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, sumac, salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Whisk together until the dressing is emulsified and well blended.
- Add the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, radishes, green onions and parsley to the large bowl of dressing and toss to combine. - Add the fried pita bread and pomegranate seeds to the salad immediately before serving and gently toss again. - Serve chilled or at room temperature.
I'm here to say it is, and it isn't. The ingredient list for the salad is really quite basic with lettuce, red onion, radishes and tomato. Where the serious flavor lies is in the dressing. Fattoush is a popular salad in Middle Eastern cuisine and especially in Lebanon. In a sense, it's the Middle East's version of Italian Panzanella which is a bread salad made with toasted croutons.
