Fattoush Salad

Savor the authentic Mediterranean salad flavors ready in 25 minutes.

I was at this restaurant in San Diego, and I came across this dish called Fattoush Salad. I was curious, so I asked the server.

They explained that it's a salad that uses pita bites instead of croutons. It was really interesting, of course, I have to try it!

Not only did I find a new recipe, but also helped me use up day-old pita bread.

Fattoush Salad Recipe Ingredients

How to Make Fattoush Salad

Mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, zaatar seasoning, honey, salt, pepper in a small bowl or mason jar. Shake or whisk the ingredients together, adjusting the seasonings to taste.

Combine spices and oil in a small bowl. Set aside. Cut the pita into triangles and place on a cookie sheet. Season with spice mixture and brush with oil if desired.

Bake the seasoned pita at 400°F/205℃ for 7-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary based on size and thickness. Let cool before serving.

Add tomatoes, cucumber, romaine lettuce, radish, sliced onions, chopped mint, and parsley to a salad bowl.

Pour about ½ cup of salad dressing and toss to combine. Continue adding more dressing as needed to suit taste buds.

Add ½ of baked pita chips, toss and serve with more chips and remaining dressing, as desired. Enjoy!
