Lebanese Style Bread Salad With Tomatoes And Herbs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place pita bread on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is a light brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, 1 to 2 minutes. Break toasted bread into bite-size pieces.
• Combine lettuce, radishes, cucumber, tomato, garlic, green onions, parsley, mint, and salt and pepper together in a bowl; toss until salad is well mixed.
• Pour lemon juice, olive oil, and sumac into a salad dressing bottle with a lid; cover and shake until blended. Add dressing to salad and toss.
• Garnish salad with toasted pita.

Steps:

• Toast pita until crisp and dry. When cool, break into bite-size pieces and set aside.
• Put tomato, cucumber, pepper, onion and scallions in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, garlic and cumin. Pour dressing over vegetables and mix to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to an hour, if desired.
• Just before serving, add parsley, mint, cilantro and toasted pita. Toss gently. Sprinkle with sumac, if using.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Separate pita into 2 rounds, and bake on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, or until very crisp but not browned.
• Put tomato, red onion, peppers, cucumber, radishes and scallions into large salad bowl. Add romaine or purslane and fresh mint, and sprinkle with sumac and dried mint. Toss.
• Whisk together garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate syrup, and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Just before serving, give dressing another quick whisk and then pour it over vegetables and toss.
• Break pita into 1-inch pieces and toss with salad, just before taking salad to table. Taste, add seasonings if needed, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the herbs, lettuce, cilantro, scallions, pepper and tomatoes in a bowl.
• Separately, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
• Toss the dressing together with the salad and let rest for 15 minutes.
• About 5 minutes before you want to eat, toast the pita breads and then cut each in half crossways.
• Cut each half into 3 strips to make 12 pieces.
• Arrange 6 strips around each plate and heap the salad in the middle.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Split pita loaves and toast on a baking sheet in middle of oven until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool pitas on a rack and break into bite-size pieces.
• While pitas are toasting, whisk together lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, and salt to taste in a serving bowl, then whisk in oil until emulsified.
• Add pitas to dressing with remaining ingredients and toss to combine.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together vinegar, garlic paste, and pepper to taste and whisk in oil until emulsified. Add remaining ingredients and salt to taste and toss to combine well. Let salad stand at room temperature 15 minutes to allow bread to soak up some dressing.

Steps:

• Put diced and chopped vegetables into a bowl, cover and chill until shortly before serving time.
• Combine lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt and pepper and pour over the vegetables.
• Toast pita bread under the grill - it should be pale gold in colour, not brown.
• Break into large pieces and toss into salad at last minute, so it will still be crisp when eaten.
