Place the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper, red onion, and Feta in a large serving bowl.
The dressing:
Whisk together the lemon juice, sugar, sumac, salt and pepper. Slowly stream in olive oil, whisking continuously until emulsified.
Make the Pita chips:
Preheat the oven to 375°F /190°C.
Cut the pita into the desired chip-sized pieces.
Arrange the pita pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle salt. Toss everything together to ensure even coating and flavor distribution.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the pita chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Allow the pita chips to cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Before serving, toss the salad with the dressing, add the Pita chips and dried mint, and mix to combine.
Notes
Crispy Pita perfection: Toast or fry the pita bread just before serving to maintain its crunchiness.
Sumac sensation: Sumac is a key ingredient in Fattoush dressing.
Freshness is key: Use the freshest vegetables available for a crisp and flavorful salad.
Mixing: Toss the salad just before serving to prevent the pita from getting too soggy.
Dress to impress: Make the dressing separately and add it just before serving. This keeps the salad ingredients crisp until it's time to enjoy.
Customization: Fattoush is highly customizable. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, herbs, or even protein sources like grilled chicken to suit your taste.
Serve fresh: Fattoush is best enjoyed fresh, so try to consume it shortly after preparation to savor its vibrant taste and textures.
