  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon dried mint

    • 1 teaspoon za’atar seasoning
    • 2 Persian cucumbers, chopped
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 5 radishes, diced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped (or 2 smaller hearts)

Instructions

    1. DRESSING: In a mason jar, add all the ingredients for the dressing and shake to combine. You can also add the ingredients to a blender and blend, the dressing stays better emulsified that way!
  1. PITA CHIPS: Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the pita pieces and cook for 4-6 minutes, flipping often until the pita is fried and crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and the za’atar seasoning. Remove pita to a plate for later.
  2. FATTOUSH SALAD: Toss the ingredients for the salad in a bowl. If the dressing has separated, give it a few shake before drizzling on the salad. You may not need all the dressing depending on how dressed you prefer your salad. Top with pita pieces and serve immediatelyHow many pounds have you lost this month?
