FATTOUCHE SALAD

 

2 large pita breads

4 ripe flavorful plum tomatoes, or 3 medium tomatoes

1 medium organic cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise, and sliced

3 to 4 organic scallions, minced

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

1/2 small head organic dark green lettuce, torn, optional

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

 

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.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
