Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups chopped lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup diced cucumber

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup pita chips
  • 3 tablespoons sumac dressing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers into small, uniform pieces for even distribution in the salad.
  2. Toss the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Drizzle the sumac dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  3. Add Pita Chips: Just before serving, add the pita chips to the salad and toss gently to maintain their crispiness.

Notes

  • Use fresh sumac for the dressing to achieve the authentic tangy flavor characteristic of Fattoush.
  • Prepare the salad just before serving to keep the pita chips from getting soggy.
  • Pita chips can be homemade by toasting pita bread slices until crisp.
  • Feel free to add fresh herbs like mint or parsley for extra flavor.
