2		Pita breads (large)
4		Ripe flavorful plum tomatoes
		= (or 3 medium tomatoes)
1		Cucumber - peeled, quartered (medium)
		Lengthwise, and sliced
3		Scallions - (to 4) - minced
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup	59ml	Olive oil
		Juice of 1 lemon
1/2		Dark green lettuce head - torn, (optional) (small)
		Salt - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Toast the pita breads in a 375 degree oven or toaster oven until golden and just beginning to become crisp, about 8 minutes. When cool enough to handle, tear into bite-sized pieces or cut into 1-inch squares with kitchen shears or a sharp knife.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a serving bowl. Add the cut pita and toss again. Serve at once.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.

Description:

"Not as well known in our culture as is tabouleh, which is like this, a Lebanese salad, fattouche is just as delicious. It gets its characteristic touch from the use of small bits of toasted pita bread."
