Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 large pita breads

4 ripe flavorful plum tomatoes

OR 3 medium tomatoes

1 medium organic cucumber -- peeled

quartered lengthwise and sliced

3 organic scallions -- minced, up to 4

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup olive oil

1 lemon -- Juice of

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

Salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste

 

Serves: 4 to 6

 

Not as well known in our culture as is tabouleh, which is like this, a

Lebanese salad, fattouche is just as delicious. It gets its characteristic

touch from the use of small bits of toasted pita bread.

 

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.
