Ingredients
- 2 stale pitta or other flatbreads
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 3Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus a little extra for the pitta
- 2tsp sumac, plus extra to sprinkle (sumac is available at Woolworths)
- 500g mixed cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 large cucumber, quartered lengthways and sliced
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 100g radishes, quartered
- 25g flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 15g mint leaves, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200°C. Toss the pitta with a little olive oil, then bake in the oven for 20 mins until crisp. Allow to cool slightly, then break into small pieces.
- Meanwhile, put the garlic in a jar with the lemon juice, vinegar, oil and sumac. Season and shake well then leave to infuse until you have finished preparing the rest of the salad.
- Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, spring onion, radishes and herbs in a large bowl. Add the bread and dressing and toss to coat. Leave for a few hours, or ideally overnight, so the bread soaks up all the dressing.
- Drizzle over some olive oil and sprinkle extra sumac before serving.
Notes
Fattoush is best when made in advance and left so that the bread soaks up all the flavour of the dressing.
