Fattoush
The hero of a great Fattoush salad is the bold and tangy flavours of the pomegranate dressing and the crunch of the fried bread. I often mix things up with the salad ingredients depending on what I have in the fridge and what’s in season. Don’t be afraid to use fresh parsley, oregano, or capsicum and arugula (rocket).
Price range: €2.30 through €26.00
Step 1
Cut the onions into a 1cm dice, cucumbers into approximately a 2cm dice, the cherry tomatoes into quarters and chop the radish into matchsticks.
Step 2
Chop the cos lettuce into 1 cm wide strips and finely chop the mint. Deseed the pomegranate reserving half of the seeds to garnish. Toss all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Step 3
For the dressing, crush the garlic with the salt in a small mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients, mix well to combine.
Step 4
Tear up the Lebanese bread into palm sized pieces and set aside.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a small fry pan on high heat before reducing it to a medium heat, and half the bread and fry until golden. Set aside and repeat with the remaining bread.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt onto the chopped salad before adding the dressing and tossing gently with your hands. Crush the fried bread into the salad, and toss again to coat gently in the juices.
Step 7
Serve immediately and garnish with extra sumac and the remaining pomegranate seeds.
