Ingredients
 

Salad

  • 1 wholewheat pita, large
  • 1 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 Romaine lettuce, large head, washed, dried and chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, medium, washed, cut into chunky pieces
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup parsley, fresh parsley, washed, finely chopped
  • ½ cup mint, fresh mint, washed, finely chopped
  • 300 g smoked salmon, sustainable

Dressing

  • cup olive oil, extra virgin
  • tbsp lemon juice, fresh
  • tsp sumac, powder
  • 2 garlic, garlic cloves, extra-large, crushed
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the pita bread into small squares. Add oil and use your hands to coat the pieces on both sides. Arrange in one layer on a medium baking tray and bake for 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Meanwhileadd the remaining salad ingredients to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Add dressing ingredients to a bowl and whisk. You could also use a mason jar for this step.
  • Pour dressing over the Fattoush salad when you're ready to serve and toss to combine. Add baked pita and gently toss one more time. Transfer to a plate and enjoy.

Notes

  1. Wash and prepare the salad close to serving time. It doesn't take long, and always choose the freshest ingredients you can find - it does make a difference.
  2. Avoid piling the pita bread on top of one another. Use a large baking tray and spread them out so that the pieces toast up nicely.
  3. Remember to pour the dressing just before serving. You don't want the Fattoush salad to become a soggy hodgepodge. 
  4. Opt for wholewheat pita to add more fibre to the recipe.
