Recipe Introduction
"Not as well known in our culture as is tabouleh, which is like this, a Lebanese salad, fattouche is just as delicious. It gets its characteristic touch from the use of small bits of toasted pita bread."
List of Ingredients
2 large pita breads
4 ripe flavorful plum tomatoes, or 3 medium tomatoes
1 medium cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and sliced
3 to 4 scallions, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 small head dark green lettuce, torn, optional
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Recipe
Toast the pita breads in a 375-degree oven or toaster oven until golden and just beginning to become crisp, about 8 minutes. When cool enough to handle, tear into bite-sized pieces or cut into 1-inch squares with kitchen shears or a sharp knife.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a serving bowl. Add the cut pita and toss again. Serve at once.
