Chicken Shawarma<\/a> with Fattoush Salad
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Yummy and VERY easy. I didn’t put the tomatoes on our pitas, because we were already having a lot of tomatoes in the salad, in fact, Girl dumped her bowl of salad ONTO her pita and ate it that way.<\/p>\n

For the fattoush, I adapted a recipe for “chopped vegetable salad” that was in the same issue of Cooking Light, but changed it around so much that it really wasn’t the same, so here’s my version:<\/p>\n

Fattoush<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 cups chopped cucumber
\n1 cup chopped red bell pepper
\n1 cup halved grape tomatoes
\n1\/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
\n1\/2 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
\n(The original recipe also called for some chopped green bell pepper, but I didn’t have any on hand. It would have been a nice addition, so I’ll add some next time. Maybe some garlic, too?)<\/p>\n

Gently fold all above ingredients to combine. In a small, separate bowl, whisk together:<\/p>\n

2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
\n1 Tbsp olive oil
\n1\/2 tsp salt
\n1\/4 tsp pepper<\/p>\n

Pour over salad and toss gently to combine.<\/p>\n

Toss in 2 cups coarsely crushed pita chips (recommended: Stacy’s brand, from Costco) and 1\/2 tsp to 1 tsp of ground sumac powder<\/a> (If you can find it. Try Kalustyan’s<\/a>, if you’re determined to find some.) and toss salad gently again to combine. Sprinkle a little more sumac on top. Serve immediately, before the pita chips get soggy. If you’re not serving it right away, reserve the pita chips separately until ready to serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
