The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try spring green fattoush  Recipe. Enjoy our salad recipes and  learn how to make spring green fattoush.

Savour all the flavours of spring in every bite with this elegant, seasonal salad

Easy
Serves 6-8 as a starter or side
Prep 40 mins
Cook 10 mins
Vegetarian

Ingredients

500g broad beans , frozen or fresh
1 cucumber
3 wholemeal pitta breads
zest and juice 1 lemon
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp caster sugar
20g bunch mint , smaller leaves picked, rest very roughly chopped
20g bunch flat-leaf parsley , very roughly chopped
small bunch chives , snipped
170g feta cheese , crumbled

Method

First get all the ingredients ready. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the beans and boil for 2-3 mins until just tender. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool, then drain again. Pod the beans from their skins into a large mixing bowl, discard the skins. Halve cucumber lengthways, scrap out the seeds using a teaspoon, then slice into half-moons and throw in with the beans. Split the pittas so you have 6 thin circles of bread, then toast.

Whisk together lemon zest, juice, olive oil and sugar with plenty of seasoning. Pour over the beans and cucumber, add all the herbs and toss together. Tear the toasted pitta into pieces and add this to the salad with the crumbled feta. Toss together very gently - hands are best - then pile onto a platter to serve.

Middle Eastern Salad Plate

The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Middle Eastern Salad Plate Recipe. Enjoy cooking tasty Middle Eastern food and learn how to make Middle Eastern Salad Plate.

The flavors of sunny Greece make this a lovely salad to serve as a first course at summer dinner parties, or as a light lunch. A garden-fresh mix of ripe tomatoes and cucumbers is enlivened with parsley and a simple vinaigrette. Alongside is a creamy traditional hummus dip, made with chickpeas, tahini, garlic and lemon. Toasted pita bread finishes the dish. Spread the pita bread with some hummus, and pile on the salad, for a deliciously fresh sandwich, if you like.

Ingredients

2 medium cucumbers
2 medium tomatoes
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1 15- or 16-ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1/2 cup tahini (see note below)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 large pita bread rounds
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

Directions

1. For salad, peel cucumbers, if desired. Chop cucumbers and tomatoes; toss together with parsley, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Cover and chill.

2. Wrap pita rounds in foil and heat in a 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes or until warm.

3. Meanwhile, to make hummus, drain chickpeas, reserving liquid. In food processor bowl combine chickpeas, tahini, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover and process until smooth, adding enough chickpea liquid until hummus is same consistency as thick oatmeal.

4. Cut warm pita rounds into wedges. Spoon hummus onto plates, drizzle with remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with red pepper. Serve with cucumber and tomato salad. Makes 6 side-dish servings.

5. Note: Tahini, a puree of sesame seeds, can be found in large supermarkets, Middle Eastern markets, or other specialty food stores.
