@kalejunkie THE ULTIMATE FATTOUSH SALAD, with chicken to make sure we are getting our protein in 😏. I need to say it—this salad will in fact change your life! This is a version of the fattoush salad I grew up with, with a few tweaks. Authentic fattoush uses pomegranate molasses in the dressing which we are skipping bc it’s not that easy to find. Lemon works great too! The toasted pita is a critical component, so don’t skip it! You can absolutely make this for meal prep, just keep the dressing and pita chips off until ready to assemble. ENJOY! 😊 ⁣

First, make the dressing. Add all ingredients to a small blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Next, make the pita chips. Preheat oven to 425F. Cut pita into small pieces and place on a baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and seasonings. Bake 5-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven. After that, make the chicken by tossing with olive oil and seasonings and sautéing over medium heat until cooked through. Finally, assemble salad. Add all chopped vegetables to a large bowl. Top with the cooked chicken and pita chips. Pour dressing on top and toss to coat well. Add crumbled feta on top, if using, and enjoy!⁣
