Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Fattoush Salad.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your pita bread pieces.
Step 3
Keep an eye on them and stir frequently, allowing them to transform into golden-brown bites of deliciousness in about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4
When they’re perfectly crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 5
Next, grab a large mixing bowl and combine a handful of shredded romaine lettuce, a diced tomato, some sliced red onion, and refreshing cucumber pieces.
Step 6
Crumble in some feta cheese, and add a sprinkle of chopped mint and parsley for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 7
Gently toss everything together, ensuring each ingredient gets to know its neighbors.
Step 8
Now, let’s whip up a zesty dressing! In a small bowl, whisk together a good drizzle of olive oil, the juice of a fresh lemon, minced garlic, a dash of Greek seasoning, a pinch of sumac, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
Step 9
Mix until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 10
Pour this vibrant dressing over your salad mixture, then add those crispy pita pieces for a delightful crunch.
Step 11
Toss everything together until the salad is well-coated and bursting with flavor.
Step 12
Enjoy your fresh, colorful creation that’s perfect for any occasion!.
