This Grilled Fattoush Salad Recipe Is From 5 Ingredients Mediterranean Cookbook by Jamie Oliver.
Ingredients Needed:
- 1 heaped tablespoon sumac
- 3 red onions
- 2 cucumbers
- 320g mixed-colour cherry tomatoes
- 4 pittas
How To Make Fattoush Salad:
- Make the Dressing: In a large shallow serving bowl, drizzle 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then stir in the sumac. Set the dressing aside.
- Grill the Onions: Peel the red onions and slice them into 1cm thick rounds. Place a griddle pan on high heat, and grill the onion slices until softened and nicely charred on both sides. Use tongs to transfer them directly into the dressing.
- Grill the Cucumbers: Roughly peel the cucumbers, cut them in half lengthways, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Then cut the cucumbers in half to fit the pan. Grill the cucumbers until they have nice char marks, then remove and roughly chop them. Add to the bowl.
- Add the Tomatoes: Quarter the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Toast the Pittas: Slice the pittas into 1.5cm strips and toast them on the griddle until crisp and golden. Toss everything together, season to taste, and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
- Char the onions well: Make sure the onions are grilled on both sides until they are nicely browned for more flavor.
- Peel and deseed the cucumbers: Removing the skin and seeds makes the salad smoother and less bitter.
- Use colorful tomatoes: Different colors of tomatoes make the salad look great and taste even better.
- Toast the pitta strips well: Toast the pitta until they are crispy to give the salad a good crunch.
- Toss the salad right before eating: Mix the salad just before serving to keep the pitta crunchy and the ingredients fresh.
How To Store Leftovers
To store any leftover fattoush salad, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 day. However, note that the pitta may lose its crunch and the vegetables might become softer.
