Dressing:
4 teaspoons ground sumac, soaked in 4 teaspoons warm water for 15 minutes
3 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons (or more) pomegranate molasses
2 small garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons (or more) white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried mint
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Salad:
2 8"-diameter pita breads, halved, toasted until golden brown, broken into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
3 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped, or 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 pound Persian cucumbers, or one 1-pound English hothouse cucumber, quartered lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
6 scallions, thinly sliced
2 Little Gem or baby romaine lettuces, or 1 small head romaine lettuce, trimmed, cut crosswise into 3/4" strips
2 cups (loosely packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 cups purslane leaves or additional 3/4"-strips romaine lettuce

Ingredient info: Sumac, a tart, citrusy spice, is available at specialty foods stores and Middle Eastern markets. Pomegranate molasses can be found at some supermarkets and at Middle Eastern markets. Both are sold at kalustyans.com.

Steps:

  • For dressing:
  • Combine sumac with soaking liquid, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, garlic, 2 teaspoons vinegar, and dried mint in a small bowl. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly, until well blended. Season with salt; add more lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, and vinegar to taste, if desired.
  • For salad:
  • Place pita pieces in a medium bowl; pour oil over and toss to coat. Season pita to taste with salt.
  • Mix tomatoes and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add 3/4 of dressing; toss to coat, adding more dressing by tablespoonfuls as needed. Season with salt. Add pita; toss once. Sprinkle sumac over, if desired.

I love the way the dressing coats the salad without being too heavy.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, so I used a mix of cucumbers and radishes instead.

I omitted the feta cheese because I'm vegan, and it was still delicious.

I used a store-bought dressing instead of making my own. It was still good, but I think it would have been even better with the homemade dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of raw onions, so I omitted them from the salad. It was still delicious without them.

This fattoush salad is a great way to use up leftover pita bread. I always have some on hand and it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up so I don't have to waste it.
