Faux-toush Salad with Lavash
- 4 ounces lavash (about 3 sheets)
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon sumac, plus more for sprinkling
- 2 romaine hearts, cut in 1-inch pieces
- 2 Persian cucumbers, halved and sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 2 cups grape tomatoes, quartered
- 3/4 cup hand-torn fresh mint leaves
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F with 2 racks set in the middle of the oven.
- Brush the lavash sheets on both sides with 3 tablespoons of the oil.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cut into 2- by 1-inch rectangles.
- Place the rectangles on 2 baking sheets in a single layer.
- Bake until lightly browned and crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Halfway through cooking, rotate the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom, flipping the lavash pieces over if needed.
- Heat a large grill pan over medium heat.
- Brush the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Grill until slightly charred on both sides and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Rest the chicken on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic and sumac together in a large bowl.
- Slowly whisk in the remaining oil.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, slice the chicken thinly against the grain.
- Use gloved hands to toss the sliced chicken, romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, mint and lavash with the dressing.
- Gently break up the lavash pieces with your hands to better incorporate them into the salad.
- Season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve family-style, or divide the salad among 4 large plates.
- Drizzle with additional oil and sprinkle with sumac.
