How to Make Lebanese Fattoush Salad
Step #1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto each pita (both sides) and toast on a baking sheet for 10-15 minutes in the preheated oven until golden brown and crunchy. Cool and tear into pieces. What sets Fattoush apart is its distinctive dressing, typically a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, and sumac – a tangy, lemony spice that’s common in Middle Eastern salads. Herbs such as mint and parsley are often added for extra freshness. Step #2: Meanwhile, make the dressing by whisking together the pomegranate molasses, sumac, lemon juice, pressed garlic, and olive oil.
