Snap Pea, Mint and Feta Fattoush Salad
Lebanese Fattoush salad gets a seasonal make-over with fresh sweet snap peas and radishes instead of tomatoes and peppers. This salad has toasted whole-grain pita dusted with sumac, crumbled feta and mint in it! So tasty and fresh and ready in only 30 minutes. (Most of that time is pre-heating the oven and toasting the pita.)
2 large pita breads, preferably whole wheat
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon powdered sumac, divided, optional
8 ounces spring greens, washed and spun dry
1/2 cup roughly chopped mint leaves
2 cups snap peas, stings removed, cut into thirds (1/2 pound)
5 radishes, sliced
½ large English cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey or agave
2 teaspoons chopped oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
½ cup crumbled mild feta cheese, preferably goat feta
12 large mixed olives
