Introducing weeknight-friendly<\/em> fattoush salad! This EASY, 1-bowl<\/strong>, 20-minute<\/strong> version is our inspired take on the classic Levantine dish. Think fresh, crunchy veggies tossed in a bright pomegranate dressing with herby mint leaves, crispy pita chips, and pomegranate arils (major<\/em> YUM)!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a refreshing side to pair with other Mediterranean-<\/a> and Middle Eastern-inspired<\/a> recipes, or toss in some chickpeas to make it a light meal on its own. Let us show you how it\u2019s done!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is Fattoush?<\/h2>\n

Fattoush<\/a> is a salad from the Levant region, which includes several countries in the Eastern Mediterranean. This salad commonly includes fresh veggies and herbs, toasted or fried flatbread, and a bright spice called sumac<\/a>. Pomegranate molasses is another common ingredient that adds even more brightness.<\/p>\n

The following is our easy, inspired version with similarly bright flavors and crunchy textures, plus an option to make it gluten-free!<\/p>\n

How to Make Fattoush Salad<\/h2>\n

This salad begins with a base of fresh chopped romaine<\/strong> for its crunchy texture and neutral flavor.<\/p>\n

\"Bowl<\/figure>\n

Then we add a variety of fresh, crunchy veggies<\/strong> like cucumber, tomato, and radish. Using seasonal, flavorful veggies (especially homegrown!) really makes this salad shine, but you can\u2019t go wrong thanks to the flavorful dressing!<\/p>\n

\"Chopped<\/figure>\n

The simple, no-mix dressing<\/strong> comes together by tossing the lettuce and veggies with lemon juice, pomegranate molasses<\/a>, sumac<\/a>, salt, and pepper. It gives this salad the classically bright, bold, pleasantly sour flavor of fattoush. Optional maple syrup and olive oil can provide additional balance and be welcome additions depending on the sweetness of your pomegranate molasses.<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/figure>\n

Then it\u2019s on to the final touches: fresh mint leaves<\/strong>, pita chips<\/strong>, and pomegranate arils<\/strong>. We love keeping the mint leaves whole for beautiful presentation and pops of herby flavor. And while we prefer store-bought pita chips for ease, we\u2019ve included notes for homemade, which comes in handy if you have day-old flatbread or pita bread to use up.<\/p>\n
