Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, gently toss together the chopped lettuce, sliced cabbage, minced radish, diced cucumber, minced red bell pepper, shredded carrot, sweet corn kernels, diced tomato, thinly sliced onion, crushed garlic, minced parsley, and minced mint. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and pomegranate molasses (syrup). (2 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a deep saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Carefully fry the pita bread rounds until golden brown and crispy. (5 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Remove the fried pita bread to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and cool slightly. (2 minutes)
05
Step
3 mins
Once the pita bread is cool enough to handle, crush or break it into bite-sized pieces. (3 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Pour the pomegranate-olive oil dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the vegetables and herbs evenly. (2 minutes)
07
Step
1 mins
Sprinkle the crushed pita bread chips over the salad just before serving to maintain their crispiness. Garnish with extra pomegranate seeds if desired. (1 minute)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the pita bread lightly before frying.
If pomegranate molasses is unavailable, you can substitute it with a mixture of pomegranate juice and a touch of lemon juice, reduced slightly over low heat.
Adjust the amount of pomegranate molasses to your liking, depending on how tart or sweet you prefer your dressing.
Make sure to dry the herbs well before chopping to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
Fattoush is best served immediately after assembling to maintain the crispness of the vegetables and pita chips.
