Fattoush

A bright Levantine salad of crisp toasted pita, juicy tomatoes, crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs, and a tart sumac dressing. The pita is added just before serving so it stays crisp at the edges while absorbing the dressing in the center.

How to prepare

1
Heat the oven to 190°C. Toss the pita pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
2
Bake the pita for 7–8 minutes, turning once, until dry, golden, and crisp at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes while preparing the salad.

3
Whisk the remaining olive oil with the lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, sumac, grated garlic, remaining salt, and black pepper until glossy and lightly emulsified.
4
Place the romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, radishes, parsley, and mint in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss gently until the vegetables are evenly coated.
5
Fold in the cooled pita just before serving, tossing only until some pieces are coated and others remain crisp. Taste and adjust the salt, lemon, or sumac.

Why this recipe works

Salty feta-free dressing, tart sumac, fresh herbs, and juicy vegetables balance the toasted pita, while adding the pita at the last moment preserves the salad’s signature contrast of crisp and tender textures.

Storage and reheating

How to store it

Refrigerate the dressed vegetable mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Store toasted pita separately at room temperature for up to 2 days; the assembled salad will soften over time.

How to reheat it

Do not reheat. If desired, refresh the salad with newly toasted pita and a little lemon juice before serving.
