Ingredients

• 2 pieces Pita bread
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 2 medium Cucumbers
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 5 small Radishes
• 1 bunch Parsley
• 0.5 bunch Mint leaves
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Sumac
• 1 teaspoon Pomegranate molasses (optional)
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the pita bread into bite-sized squares or strips. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Spread the pita pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

While the pita crisps, prepare the vegetables. Dice the tomatoes, cucumbers, and green bell pepper into small, uniform pieces. Thinly slice the radishes and red onion.

Step 5

Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. Set the chopped vegetables and herbs aside in a large salad bowl.

Step 6

To prepare the dressing, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, finely minced garlic, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and ground black pepper. If using pomegranate molasses, stir it in as well for an extra tangy kick.

Step 7

Just before serving, add the crispy pita pieces to the salad bowl, pour the dressing over the top, and toss everything together gently to coat.

Step 8

Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of crunchy, tangy, and fresh flavors of Palestinian Fattoush!
