Fattoush
Servings: 4 -6
Ingredients
- 3 medium tomatoes cut into ½-inch cubes, about 1 pound
- 2 ½ cups diced cucumber about 1 pound
- ½ cup diced medium red onion soak in ice water for 15 minutes to reduce harsh onion flavor, if desired
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2-3 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice about ½ lemon
- 2-3 Tablespoons unrefined cold-pressed olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon ground sumac
- ¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt or to taste
- A couple generous handfuls of pita chips
Instructions
- Place the tomatoes, cucumber, onion and parsley in a serving bowl.
- In a small bowl or glass jar, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, sumac and salt. Pour over the vegetables and toss to combine.
- Crumble pita chips on top and toss together. Serve immediately.
Notes
Other additions: cooked chickpeas, crumbled feta, diced green pepper, chopped pitted olives, cubed avocado, julienned radish, shredded lettuce. I noticed Sarah at My New Roots used raw flax crackers in her Fattoush instead of toasted pita -- great idea!
