Pita Bread Salad with Tomatoes and Cucumber (Fattoush) Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by jtoro_318

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (8-inch) pita breads
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic, minced to paste
1 pound tomatoes, cored and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 English cucumber, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 cup arugula, chopped coarse
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
4 scallions, sliced thin

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Using kitchen shears, cut around perimeter of each pita and separate into 2 thin rounds. Cut each round in half. Place pitas, smooth side down, on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet. Brush 3 tablespoons oil over surface of pitas. (Pitas do not need to be uniformly coated. Oil will spread during baking.) Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake until pitas are crisp and pale golden brown, 10 to 14 minutes. Set aside to cool. (Cooled pitas can be stored in zipper-lock bag for 24 hours.) 2. While pitas toast, whisk lemon juice, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes. 3. Place tomatoes, cucumber, arugula, cilantro, mint, and scallions in large bowl. Break pitas into 1/2-inch pieces and place in bowl with vegetables. Add lemon-garlic mixture and remaining 1/4 cup oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

This salad was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of dressing.

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if it had more vegetables and less pita bread.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more herbs or spices.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing was so good that it made me forget all about the tomatoes. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love that this salad is so customizable. I added some feta cheese and olives to mine and it was delicious. You could also add some grilled vegetables or nuts.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pita bread. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. I added some grilled chicken to mine for a complete meal.
