Chicken Fattoush Salad
This easy and traditional chicken fattoush salad recipe is out of this world! I added sautéd chicken breast to make this a healthy and balanced main course that can be enjoyed for either lunch or dinner. Feel free to skip the added chicken and serve the salad as a side to any dish! Did I mention this dish is ready in under 30 minutes?
Equipment
- Large Salad Bowl
- Large Pan
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 1 Head of Romaine Lettuce Roughly Chopped
- 4 Roma Tomatoes Chopped
- 5 Persian Cucumbers Thinly Sliced
- 1 bunch (5-6) Fresh Radish Quartered
- 1 Bunch Fresh Parsley Roughly chopped
- 1 Bunch Fresh Green Mint De-stemmed
- 2 Green Bell Peppers Chopped
- ¼ Cup Olive Oil
- 2-3 Garlic Cloves Minced
- Juice of 2 Lemons
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sumac
- 1-2 thin slices of Pita bread
For Protein if used as main dish:
- 1 Pound Chicken tenders cut into 1" cubes
- 1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Garlic & Onion powder to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables according to the descriptions above. Example: Chopping your lettuce, tomatoes, etc.
- To a large bowl, add in your chopped romaine lettuce, roma tomatoes, persian cucumbers, radish, parsley, green mint and bell peppers.
- In a small container or mason jar, add in your minced olive oil, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt and sumac. Close the container, shake well and then when you are ready to serve, pour the dressing on top of the salad and toss.
- Grab your thin pita bread slices and slice into 4 quarters. Add into a toaster until nice and crispy (but not burned).
- Break apart the toasted crispy pita bread on top of the salad after tossing and serve!
- If serving as a meal, I suggest adding chicken. Cube your chicken tenders. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides. Add oil to a large pan on medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add in your chicken. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken browns on both sides and reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Serve along with the fattoush salad and enjoy!
- Hint: spray the pita bread with some avocado oil spray to make the pita crisp easier!
