How to Make Fattoush Lebanese Bread Salad

  1. Preheat your grill or broiler.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 head of romaine lettuce (chopped), 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes (halved), 1 cucumber (diced), 1/2 cup chopped parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped mint.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
  5. Cut 1 pita bread into 8 wedges and toast them under the grill until pale gold (about 2-3 minutes per side), watching closely to prevent burning.
  6. Break the toasted pita bread into large pieces and add them to the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
