About this recipe

This fit Lebanese fattoush salad brings together crispy baked whole-wheat pita, fresh vegetables and a tangy sumac-lemon dressing. By baking the pita instead of frying it, it offers a light and low-calorie option.

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C and tear the pita into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Lightly brush the pita pieces with olive oil and bake for 5-7 minutes until crispy.

  3. 3

    Place the tomatoes, cucumber and red bell pepper in a large bowl.

  4. 4

    Add the mint, parsley and lettuce and toss to combine.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, salt and black pepper.

  6. 6

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.

  7. 7

    Scatter the crispy pita pieces on top and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Add the pita just before serving to keep it crispy.
  • Sumac gives the salad its characteristic tangy flavor; don't reduce the amount.
  • Add a tablespoon of pomegranate molasses for a richer flavor.
