Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pita bread
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 medium-sized Cucumber
• 2 medium-sized Tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint
• 3 small Radishes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Sumac
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly brush the pita bread with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Place the pita bread on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Chop the romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, mint, and radishes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic clove, sumac, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and toss everything together well to coat the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Slice each crispy pita bread in half to form pockets, or leave them whole and cut along one edge to make an opening for stuffing.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of plain Greek yogurt inside each pita pocket to add creaminess and flavor.

Step 8

Fill each pita pocket with a generous helping of the vegetable mixture and a spoonful of cooked chickpeas.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and crunchy Fattoush Pita Sandwich!
