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

2 tomatoes -- cubed (2 to 3)

1 small cucumber -- peeled, quartered lengthwise, and

chopped

1 medium green pepper -- seeded, deribbed, and diced

5 scallions -- chopped

1/2 small lettuce -- shredded

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint -- or 1 tsp. dried

mint

1 pita bread round -- toasted and cut into

cubes, (or 2-3 slices of bread)

A dressing made from equal amounts of olive

oil and lemon juice and seasoned with salt and black pepper. -- (Make

plenty of dressing and store whatever you do not use in the fridge.)

 

Combine the vegetables, herbs, and bread. Make the dressing, pour it

over the salad, toss well, and chill for 30-60 minutes before serving.

For an authentic Arabic flavor, the dressing should be made of equal

parts of oil and lemon juice. However, you may prefer to use more oil -

perhaps two to three parts of oil to one of lemon juice.
