Fattoush Salad
Fattoush Salad
Fattoush is a Lebanese bread salad. The bread in question is pita bread that’s been brushed with a dressing of pomegranate molasses and sumac, then toasted in the oven. The toasted pita croutons are crumbled into a salad of romaine, cherry tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, green onions, fresh mint, and parsley. All of this is tossed in the pomegranate dressing. This salad can be eaten as a side and is even hearty enough as a main course.
