LEBANESE FATTOUSH SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN
Fattoush is a popular salad in Lebanon made with mixed greens, a lemony vinaigrette and pita bread pieces. Toasting the pita adds crunch and a sprinkle of ground sumac-which grows wild all over Lebanon-adds depth. Let the salad sit for a bit to let the pita soak up the lemony dressing.

- NOTE:.
- The tart berries of the sumac bush add another element to many Middle Eastern dishes. Find them whole or ground in Middle Eastern markets or online at kalustyans.com or lebaneseproducts.com.

FATTOUSH SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN
Traditional fattoush salad, which originated in the Middle East, is a flavorful combination of fried or toasted pita bread, fresh seasonal herbs and vegetables. Here, grilled chicken adds a boost of lean protein, and for those of you who can't eat gluten, I've swapped the pita for gluten-free pizza crust. Mix in some crisp bell peppers and cucumbers tossed with arugula and fresh Italian parsley, and top it all off with creamy feta cheese and Lemon-Oregano Vinaigrette for a delicious and nourishing one-bowl meal.

Steps:
- For the lemon-oregano vinaigrette: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano and salt and pepper to taste in a small jar. Cover, shake well and set aside.
- For the salad: Put the arugula in a large salad bowl. Add the tomatoes, parsley, cucumber and peppers and toss well.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the olive oil over the pizza crust, distributing it on both sides. Place the crust in the skillet and heat for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, being careful not to burn. Remove and cut into approximately 1 1/2-inch pieces.
- Put the chicken and crust pieces on top of the salad. Add the feta and pour the vinaigrette over the top. Toss well before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high. Stir together 2 tablespoons oil and harissa. Brush mixture over peppers and onion; season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until tender and charred in places, about 15 minutes.
- Whisk together vinegar and remaining 6 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss escarole with 2 tablespoons dressing; season with salt and pepper. Mound onto a serving platter.
- Toss beans and herbs with 2 more tablespoons dressing and pile alongside. Place grilled vegetables, feta, and pita chips next to greens and drizzle with more dressing. Serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better your fattoush salad will taste. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly and will also make the salad look more appealing.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Grilled chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings fattoush salad together. Make sure to use a dressing that is both flavorful and tangy.
- Serve the salad immediately: Fattoush salad is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the vegetables will wilt and the dressing will become less flavorful.
Conclusion:
Fattoush salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its fresh vegetables, grilled chicken, and flavorful dressing, fattoush salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
