Ingredients

• 2 pieces Pita bread
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 5 pieces Radishes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 2 teaspoons Sumac
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 clove Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the pita bread into small triangles or bite-sized pieces and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Drizzle the pita pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat evenly. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

While the pita chips bake, wash and prepare your vegetables. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, thinly slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and radishes, and finely dice the red onion.

Step 4

Roughly chop the parsley and mint leaves, and thinly slice the green onions.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sumac, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, grated garlic, remaining salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, red onion, parsley, mint, and green onions.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients.

Step 8

Add the crispy pita chips just before serving to maintain their crunch. Toss lightly one last time.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, tangy, and refreshing flavors of this classic Lebanese Fattoush Bread Salad.
