MIDDLE EASTERN PITA AND VEGETABLE SALAD (FATTOUSH)



Middle Eastern Pita and Vegetable Salad (Fattoush) image

Flat breads become stale very quickly, so it's no surprise that there's an array of Arab dishes made with crumbled up pitas. This is my favorite destination for them (I love any dish where bread is soaked with salad dressing). You can use whatever greens look good in your market -- arugula, watercress, purslane, and cut up leaves of romaine lettuce are all acceptable. The Middle Eastern spice sumac is available in Middle Eastern markets; the salad will still be delicious if you don't include it. To keep the fat a little lower I've substituted plain low-fat yogurt for some of the olive oil in the authentic recipe.

Time 10m

Yield Serves 6 to 8 generously

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 (6-inch) Arabic pita breads
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped or pureed (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plain lowfat yogurt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 European cucumber or 3 Persian cucumbers, cut in half lengthwise, then into half-moon slices
6 scallions, white and light green parts, sliced
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup slivered fresh mint leaves
1 romaine lettuce heart (the lighter, inner leaves), washed, dried, cut crosswise in 1/2-inch wide pieces
4 cups (loosely packed) coarsely chopped arugula, watercress, or purslane (or a combination),
2 teaspoons ground sumac (optional)

Steps:

  • If your pita breads are hard, break them up into pieces. If they are not, cut them into quarters and split the quarters open. Toast the pieces in a toaster oven, or in a 325ºF oven, until lightly browned and crisp.
  • Combine the garlic, lemon juice, salt, olive oil, yogurt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Toss the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Just before serving, add the dressing and toss together. Crumble in the pita bread and toss again. Taste, adjust seasonings, and serve.

JARJEER (ARUGULA) SALAD



Jarjeer (Arugula) Salad image

A traditional Middle Eastern salad served all the way to Sudan. It's simple and DH likes it a lot since he likes mushrooms. Modified from a recipe found on allrecipes.com posted by IMANKAY. Note: Sumac is available as a ground spice in Middle Eastern markets, it comes from the dried berries of a shrub that grows wild in Mediterranean. The taste is sour, fruity and astringent.
