Fattoush Pita Sandwich Recipe

Escape the heat with this vibrant Fattoush Pita Sandwich! We're taking the classic Lebanese salad – bursting with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and refreshing mint – and transforming it into a delicious, handheld summer meal. Instead of traditional stale pita croutons, we're using soft pita bread as the perfect vessel for this explosion of flavor. To elevate the mint's bright freshness and balance the assertive flavors of onion, garlic, and cilantro, we've amped up the mint quantity. Get ready for a taste of the Mediterranean sun!
