This Fattoush Salad is a light, refreshing, and crunchy salad that’s perfect for summer. It’s also a good way to use up any vegetables you have kicking around in your fridge or on your counter plus is ready in just 15 minutes.
1 ½ ouncesof bread (pita, naan, thinly-sliced sandwich bread - whatever you have on hand), preferably a little stale
kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Mix the cucumber, tomato, nectarine, and onion in a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and toss to combine. Add the parsley and mint, mix well, and set aside until ready to serve.
Just before serving, toast the bread until dry and crunchy. Break into irregular bite-sized pieces, and toss with the salad. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes
Prevent sogginess. Make sure to add the toasted bread right before you serve the salad. If you let it sit too long, the bread will get mushy and sort of dissolve.
Chop the veggies. In similar-sized pieces.
Change up the ingredients. Feel free to use other veggies or add in more to make your fattoush salad. Radish, bell pepper, crisp lettuce such as romaine, and green onions are sometimes used. But really, there are so many variations so feel free to use whatever vegetables you want!
