Wife calls me a salad nut and that I should change the name of my website into saladglory or something similar but the truth is, she’s enjoying them as much as I do. I guess somebody has to cook something else but pasta and casseroles in this household anyway, might as well be me.
If you are looking for a classic fattoush recipe, this is not it. The original requires pieces of pita bread and a bunch of various veggies, no meat involved. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT! Well, that didn’t work for me so I got rid of the bread and added some grilled chicken. As usually, my salads are amazing (ask the wife). One thing that I had trouble finding was sumac
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 green bell pepper
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 6 green onions
- 1-2 boneless skinless chicken breast cut in small strips
- ⅓ cup of chopped cilantro
- ⅓ cup of chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp finely chopped mint
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp sumac
- Grill the chicken breast and cut it in small strips.
- Chop all the tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers and onions in small cubes; throw them all to a large bowl. Add the cilantro, parsley and the finely chopped mint.
- In another bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper and sumac until it turns thick.
- To the large bowl, add the chicken and pour the dressing over everything. Toss well.
- Enjoy!
