Fattoush (The Remix)
- Salad
- 1 large Red Leaf lettuce
- 1/2 large Boston lettuce
- 1/2 large head Chicory lettuce
- 1 whole bunch of parsley (stems cut off)
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 large vine-ripened tomatoes
- Dry Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground coriander
- 3 tablespoons dry mint
- 1 tablespoon 1 tsp za'atar
- Fatoush Dressing:
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 1/2 sweet lemons); adjust sugar if your lemons are acidic)
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon rapidura sugar (or light brown)
- Za'atar pita chips (see separate recipe in my list of recipes)
- Chop all the lettuce heads into small bite sized cuts. Cut the tomato into medium-sized chunks. Slice the red onion into thin slices and cut them in half. Remove the stems from the parsley and cut the leaves coarsely. Combine all the dry seasoning mix together and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients.
- Mix the lettuce, parsley and red onion into a large bowl, sprinkling the dry seasoning mix a little at at a time, distributing it into all the parts of the lettuce mix (east, west, south, north . . . you get the idea.) Add in the tomato chunks and mix in the wet dressing.
- I recommend incorporating za'atar pita chips right before you're ready to eat. If you put them in too early, they'll get soggy. Mix 1/2 of the chips through the salad so that the chips are a bit wet with dressing but not soaked. Use the rest of the pita chips to place on each serving plate or serve on the side for everyone to take.
