Servings: 6
Author Notes: Fattoush is a Middle Eastern salad made with vegetables and bread in a tangy dressing. Fattoush makes a wonderful picnic food, as it is easy to pack along.
Ingredients: 2 - 3 tomatoes, cubed
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 parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried mint
1 pita bread (or 2-3 slices of bread), toasted and cut into cubes

dressing made from equal amounts of olive oil and lemon juice and seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions: 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.
