This serving of mixed greens DELIVERS.
What's more, I mean it has flavor, crunch, surface, sweet, appetizing goodness that I believe will be my next sustenance orgy of 2016.
How about we begin with the lemon pomegranate dressing. It's a couple of straightforward fixings – ground sumac, lemon juice, garlic, nectar, olive oil, and pomegranate molasses with a major dash of salt and pepper. Ground sumac is a flavoring frequently utilized as a part of Middle Eastern dishes that gives things a tart practically lemony flavor however without all the pungency that lemons are known for.

I for the most part let them sit while I preheat the broiler and tear the pita for the pita chips. At the point when the lemon juice and sumac have sat for a couple of minutes include the elements for the dressing to a bricklayer container and give it a couple of good shakes. That is it.
You can make the pita chips for the fattoush serving of mixed greens two or three hours early in the event that you'd like however make certain to not place them in an impenetrable holder, it's ideal to give them a chance to sit out. I find that a sealed shut compartment kinda mollifies them go down.
On the off chance that you need to make this a full supper, simply include diced chicken alongside everything else, you could even include destroyed rotisserie plate of mixed greens to make it a considerably speedier fattoush serving of mixed greens.
All I know is that I had the most overpowering need to make and eat this fattoush plate of mixed greens when I woke up on morning. Truly, I don't comprehend what comes over this foodie cerebrum on occasion.
