Green Fatoush
- 14 cup finely sliced scallion
- 2 long green chilies, seeded and cut into very fine rounds
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 lime, juice and zest of
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt
- 2 pita breads
- 1 ripe avocado
- 14 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 14 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Put the scallions and chile slices into a bowl.
- Discard the outer leaves of the lettuce and then tear it into pieces, adding to the bowl.
- Whisk the lime zest and juice and oil in a small bowl or jug and add a sprinkling of salt.
- Open the pita breads up lengthways so that you have 4 very thin halves, and lay them on a baking sheet.
- Toast them in the oven for about 5 minutes to give them a bit of crunch; they will turn a golden brown color, but keep an eye on them as they might burn.
- Take the pita breads out and leave them to cool.
- Halve the avocado, remove the stone and then using a spoon, scoop pieces of avocado out onto the bowl of lettuce.
- Dress the salad with the lime and oil dressing and add most of the chopped herbs before tossing with your hands to combine.
- Snip with scissors or break the crispy pita bread with your hands into rough triangles, and add most of the pieces to the salad and toss again before decanting to a serving bowl or platter.
- Scatter with remaining herbs and toasted pita.
