Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Fattoush Salad.
Step 1
To start, grab a large skillet and warm up some vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, carefully add torn pieces of pita bread in batches, frying them until they turn a beautiful golden brown on both sides.
Step 3
When theyβre perfectly crispy, transfer the pita pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil, and set them aside for later.
Step 4
Next, in a generous serving bowl, mix together diced cucumber, halved grape tomatoes, chopped parsley, fresh mint, and finely diced red onion.
Step 5
This colorful medley not only looks inviting but also brings a burst of flavor to your dish.
Step 6
Drizzle the vibrant mixture with extra-virgin olive oil and a splash of fresh lemon juice for that zesty kick.
Step 7
Sprinkle in ground sumac, crushed garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper, then gently toss everything together to ensure all those delicious flavors meld beautifully.
Step 8
Just before youβre ready to serve, add the crispy fried pita pieces to the salad and give it a light toss to combine.
Step 9
This step adds a delightful crunch that perfectly complements the fresh ingredients.
Step 10
Finally, for a finishing touch, grate some sheep's milk feta cheese over the top using a small cheese grater.
Step 11
This creamy addition elevates the dish, making it even more irresistible.
Step 12
Enjoy your vibrant salad, bursting with flavors and textures that will surely impress your guests!.
