Fattoush

Ingredients

Toasted/grilled pita bred
Olive oil, for brushing
10 leaves romaine lettuce, coarsely shredded
50g rocket
4 tomatoes, diced / cherry tomatoes
6 small radishes, thinly sliced
4 salad onions, finely sliced
½ small red/green pepper, diced
¼ cucumber, diced
20g chopped mint
20g chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tbsp sumac (optional, see above)
Onion (optional)
Avocado (optional)
Feta cheese (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Dressing:
5 tbsp lemon juice
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

1. Preheat the grill to medium. Lightly brush the bread pieces with olive oil and place on a large baking sheet (you'll need to do this in batches). Toast under the grill until lightly browned and crisp. Set aside to cool, then break into jagged shards.

2. Place all the other salad ingredients into a large bowl and season well. Mix the lemon juice and oil for the dressing together, season, and add to the salad. Toss well to distribute the dressing. Cover the salad with the broken bread pieces. Taste and add more lemon juice and/or oil as necessary. Serve at once.
