If you haven’t had a fattoush salad before…you are missing out!
There are quite a few Arabic restaurants in my surrounding area, which is how I first came to try a fattoush salad.
Of course my favorite part of the salad was the fried pita bread. It’s definitely not the healthiest part of the salad, that’s why I decided to lighten it up.
Instead of using the pita bread I used an Xtreme Ole High Fiber Tortilla, since one tortilla is only 1 point.
Instead of frying the tortilla I baked it to get it nice and crispy. I cut it into bite size pieces, put it on a cookie sheet and sprayed it with olive oil spray. I added a little bit of garlic powder and salt for flavor.
The other ingredients in the salad are pretty healthy. Romaine lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion and parsley.
For the dressing I used olive oil, fresh lemon juice and sumac powder. The sumac powder is what makes the fattoush salad different than any other salad you’ve had.
You can usually find sumac powder in large grocery stores in the “Mediterranean” section.
Sumac powder has a tangy lemon flavor to it, it’s really good!
This fattoush salad is only 2 points per serving for blue, green and purple! It’s great as a side dish or even a meal.
