Fattoush (Lebanese "Crumbled Bread" Salad with Sumac and Pita Chips) | Recipe Cloud App

Ingredients

• 2 whole wheat pita pocket breads, cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide, then toasted and crumbled (I use low-carb pita bread.)
• 2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
• 1 cup diced tomatoes (let drain a minute or two if extra juicy)
• 1 cup diced cucumber (same size as tomatoes)
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley (leaves only, no stems)
• optional ingredients: chopped green pepper or radishes (I didn’t use either of these but Lori’s recipe had green peppers and I saw several recipes that added chopped radishes.)
• 1 tsp. chopped garlic (2-4 cloves garlic)
• 1 tsp. salt (I used fine grind sea salt)
• 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, about 2 large lemons (I love lemon, so adjust the amount to your own taste)
• 1 tsp. powdered Sumac, plus more for sprinkling on individual salads if desired)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
