Salads-fattoush
Recipes » Salad » Vegetable Salads
Toasting the pita adds crunch to this bright-tasting salad, and a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of ground sumac?the berry of a bush that grows wild all over Lebanon?add depth. Letting the salad sit for a bit before eating allows the pita to soak up the lemony dressing.
"I love that you sprinkle the sumac on the pita. I cannot get enough of the stuff. The only thing that I do differently is that I use 4 chopped green onions in place of the red onions. This is my favorite summer dish!" - AntarcticCatYield: 8 Ready in 45 minutes
