New Jersey Fattoush
New Jersey Fattoush
Executive digital editor Helen Rosner got the recipe for this Middle Eastern bread salad from her Palestinian mother-in-law, who-over decades living in the U.S.-has tweaked a traditional recipe into something decidedly (and deliciously) Americanized: crushed pita chips, a dressing of lime juice and dried mint, and crisp, sweet iceberg lettuce.
Yield: serves 6
1⁄2 medium onion, thinly sliced
1⁄2 cup rice wine vinegar
1⁄4 cup lime juice
2 tbsp. canola oil
2 tbsp. dried mint
2 Persian or Kirby cucumbers, halved lengthwise and sliced into ¼" pieces
1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped or torn into bite-size pieces
1 tomato, quartered and sliced into ¼" pieces
2 cups pita chips (such as Stacy's), gently crushed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Marinate sliced onion in the vinegar for 3-5 minutes. Drain onion, discarding vinegar. In a large bowl, combine onion with lime juice, oil, mint, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, and half the pita chips. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let salad rest for 5 minutes before adding reserved pita chips; toss again and serve.
