Lebanon - Fattoush

Last recipe from Lebanon this week and I picked this salad recipe because over the summer holidays we've been eating less healthily than I'd like. This recipe isn't *too* healthy though, it has fried pitta croutons too :)


Ingredients:

For the salad:

1 lettuce
1 cucumber
3-4 tomatoes
1 bunch mint
1 bunch parsley
1 onion
2 pitta breads
salt

For the dressing:

4 teaspoons sumac
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons pomegranite molasses
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1/2 cup oil


Mix all the dressing ingredeints together and stir well to combine.


Cut the pitta into inch squares and fry in some heated oil until they've absorbed the oil and browned.



Chop all the salad ingredients and place in a salad bowl. Toss in a few tablespoons of the dressing and the toasted pitta squares. Done!


Everything is coated in the sweet, citrusy dressing which is flecked with bright red sumac. It looks really good. We enjoyed this salad. The pitta croutons are delicious, I'll definitely be making these again for our salads. The whole dish makes for a filling lunch which felt perfect on a summer's day!
