FOR THE SALAD

  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • ¾ cup torn mint leaves
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced cucumber

FOR THE DRESSING

Instructions

  • If you are making homemade pita chips prep those first.
  • Add all of the salad ingredients, except for the pita chips, to a large mixing bowl and toss well.
  • Place the dressing ingredients in a small mason jar with a lid and shake it really vigorously for ten seconds. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss it well to coat the veggies.
  • Crumble in the pita chips and toss again. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tips

  • Save time by prepping your veggies beforehand! Have everything chopped and ready to go and just shake together the dressing when you are ready to eat.
  • Use a bag of your favorite slaw mix for the veggies and skip the chopping altogether.

Storage

  • Fattoush is best enjoyed fresh, as the pita bread tends to lose its crunch. However, you can prepare the salad ingredients and dressing in advance, keeping everything separate, and combining them just before serving to maintain the texture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. However, the pita bread will become soggy, so it's recommended to eat it fresh for the best taste and texture.
