🇬🇷 🥬 Greek Style Fattoush
🥗For as long as I can remember, my family have always loved Greek salad with lettuce. Today I went one step further and added toasted pita bread and it looks like a Greek style fattoush!
You can enjoy with or without the pita bread.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 Cos lettuce, chopped roughly
- 1-2 lebanese cucumbers, quartered, and sliced
- 1 medium red or yellow capsicum, cut into chunks
- 1 punnet baby tomatoes, halved
- 3-4 spring onions, include the green (or ½ small red onion), chopped
- ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives, whole or halved
- 100g Dodoni Greek feta cheese, cut into small dices or crumbled
- 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped finely
- radish, chopped or sliced (optional)
- 1-2 pita breads ( or day old sourdough)
Dressing
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 small clove garlic minced (optional)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper (half of the 1/4 tsp)
Method
-
Bake the pita bread in the oven on 180 C until golden brown. You will need to turn once and keep an eye on it.
-
When the pita has cooled, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
-
Combine the lettuce, cucumber, capsicum, tomatoes, onion, parsley, and olives in a large bowl.
-
Make the dressing by combining the ⅓ cup olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake it up in a jar.
-
Just before you are ready to eat, add the pita bread pieces along with the feta, and then drizzle the dressing over the top. Mix it all up and serve at the table.
