Fattoush is a Middle Eastern salad dish consisting of tomatoes, cucumber, and other vegetables and fruits together with croutons made from toasted pitta bread. I made this super healthy salad with a dressing made of sumac powder. Sumac is a famous middle eastern spice. Made from the dried and ground berries of the wild sumac flower, sumac is a tangy spice with a sour, acidic flavor. It is widely used in salad or kebabs which gives a delicious sourness to the dish.

Steps

No cook recipe

1

Take 1 tablespoon sumac powder in a bowl.
2

With 2 tablespoon of warm water, soak the powder for 10 minutes.
3

After 10 minutes, add in crushed garlic to the sumac with water.
4

Now add in all the ingredients of dressing, mentioned above. Mix well with a spoon.
5

Keep aside for 10 minutes to infuse flavours.
6

In the meantime cut all the vegetables and fruits in small thin pieces.
7

Also clean lettuce and baby spinach nicely. Tear lettuce in small pieces.
8

Remove the stems of coriander-mint leaves and clean properly.
9

Cut pita bread or any type of bread in small cubes and toast them with butter or olive oil. I used brown bread, you can even use leftover chapatis.
10

Toast them until crisp. Keep aside.
11

At the time of serving, place all the vegetables and fruits to a big mixing bowl.
12

Stir lightly with 2 spoons to mix.
13

Add in the prepared salad dressing and mix well. It's better to use wooden spatula or spoon to mix.
14

At last add in some prepared croutons and transfer to individual serving bowls. Sprinkle with some sumac and mint powder. Enjoy!

Note: Sumac powder can be substitued with dry pomegranate seeds. You can soak them for 10-15 minutes in hot water and then use. Dry mint gives a very unique and delicious pungent flavour to the salad. So I recommend not to skip adding this powder.
