Lebanese Fattoush Salad
This is my favourite version of a Lebanese classic. It is great with anything, especially lamb and great for barbecues as it is cheap and makes a lot.
INGREADIENT
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped
- 1/2 cup mint chopped fresh
- 3 tomatoes diced
- 1/4 cup radish sliced
- 4 spring onions thinly sliced
- 1 Lebanese cucumber deseeded halved roughly chopped
- 1 lavash bread large
- 1 tbs sumac
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch seasoning *to taste
Direction
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- Split the Lebanese breads in half.
- Place on oven rack and toast for 5-10 minutes or until light brown in colour. Be careful as these can burn very quickly.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool. Break into 5 cm pieces.
- In a large serving bowl, add the parsley, mint, radish, tomato, cucumber, spring onion and 1 teaspoon of the sumac. Toss together well.
- Squeeze over the lemon juice and oil. Add salt and pepper and taste to adjust flavours.
- Just before serving, gently mix through the Lebanese bread pieces.
