MIDDLE EASTERN PITA AND VEGETABLE SALAD (FATTOUSH)
Flat breads become stale very quickly, so it's no surprise that there's an array of Arab dishes made with crumbled up pitas. This is my favorite destination for them (I love any dish where bread is soaked with salad dressing). You can use whatever greens look good in your market -- arugula, watercress, purslane, and cut up leaves of romaine lettuce are all acceptable. The Middle Eastern spice sumac is available in Middle Eastern markets; the salad will still be delicious if you don't include it. To keep the fat a little lower I've substituted plain low-fat yogurt for some of the olive oil in the authentic recipe.

Steps:
- If your pita breads are hard, break them up into pieces. If they are not, cut them into quarters and split the quarters open. Toast the pieces in a toaster oven, or in a 325ºF oven, until lightly browned and crisp.
- Combine the garlic, lemon juice, salt, olive oil, yogurt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Toss the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Just before serving, add the dressing and toss together. Crumble in the pita bread and toss again. Taste, adjust seasonings, and serve.

FATTOUSH (LEBANESE TOMATO AND PITA SALAD)
For millions of Muslims in the United States, food takes on a new significance during Ramadan. Fasting during this time is one of the five pillars of Islam, along with devotion to Allah, prayer, giving alms and visiting Mecca. Soup or salad, like the fattoush made with tomatoes and pita bread, is a light way to break the fast.

FATTOUSH
Fattoush is a Levantine salad made with fried pita and seasonal vegetables, such as lettuce, cucumber and tomato. The special flavor of fattoush comes from the dressing, which contains sumac and pomegranate molasses. With just the right amount of zestiness, this salad is the perfect addition to any Middle Eastern or Mediterranean meal, especially during grilling season.

Steps:
- Cut the pita bread into 1 1/2-inch strips, then rotate 90 degrees and cut again so you end up with small pieces.

- Place the romaine, radishes, green onions, cucumbers, red onions, peppers, tomatoes, mint and parsley in a large bowl, then gently toss together.
- Whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, sumac, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until evenly combined.
- Add the fried pita and gently toss the salad one more time. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
