Salad: Herb and Toasted Pita Salad (Fattûsh)

An authentic fattûsh doesn't necessarily include lettuce, and the bread may be soaked in the dressing, or even fried as it is in Syria before mixing into the salad — keeping it crisp but making the salad rather unhealthy. I achieve crispness by tossing the bread with the sumac and olive oil before mixing it into the salad — the oil coats the bread and protects it from the juices for longer.

cuisine: Syria
course/dish: Salad
main ingredients: Vegetables
preparation time:
15 minutes
servings: 2-3

ingredients

1 medium pita bread
3 tbsp sumac
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
400g gem lettuce
300g cucumbers (preferably small Middle Eastern cucumbers)
100g spring onions, trimmed
300g firm red tomatoes
200g flat-leaf parsley, most of the stalk removed, coarsely chopped
100g mint, leaves only, coarsely chopped
100g purslane, leaves only
sea salt

instructions

1. Open up the pita bread at the seam, so you have two discs. Toast until golden brown on both sides, then break into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl. Sprinkle the sumac all over the toasted pita pieces, then add the olive oil and toss well.

 

2. Remove any damaged outer leaves from the lettuce, then cut across into 1 cm strips.


3. If using a regular cucumber, peel, quarter lengthways and deseed; if using small cucumbers, simply halve lengthways.
Cut the cucumber(s) across into slices.

 

4. Thinly slice the spring onions.

 

5. Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.

 

6. Put all ingredients apart from the bread into a large salad bowl, add the herbs and season with salt to taste.  Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately.
