Fattoush is a Lebanese salad made with fresh veggies and tangy dressing. But it’s defining feature is the fried pita bread. So good! Little bits of pita get pan-fried in olive oil and mixed right in with the salad. They’re like the ultimate croutons! In addition to the delicious fried pita bits, fattoush features crispy romaine, cucumber, tomatoes and radishes. It’s an excellent dish to make in the middle of summer when these veggies are abundant. On top of it all we’ve got a zesty, garlicky dressing that’s good enough to eat by the spoonful. This salad is absolutely flavor-packed and refreshing. It can stand on it’s own as a main dish, or you can serve it as a side and pair it up with other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern favorites like Mediterranean red lentil soup, roasted garlic hummus, mujadara, or baked falafel.
