Nani's Fresh and Crunchy Fattoush Salad
A bright and zesty Mediterranean salad featuring crispy pita chips and a tangy pomegranate dressing.
recipesbynani.comThis Fattoush salad is one of my favorite things to toss together when I want something fresh and light. It is packed with crunchy vegetables and fresh herbs, making it a wonderful side dish for any Middle Eastern meal you are planning.
My top tip for this recipe is to add the crispy pita chips right before you serve the salad. This keeps them from getting soggy so you get that perfect crunch in every single bite.
