Notes
- Pita bread - for a healthier twist, air fry or bake until golden instead of frying. Mix half into the salad and sprinkle the rest on top for maximum crunch
- Pomegranate molasses is a key ingredient in fattoush, if you can't get your hands on it substitute with balsamic glaze, but the flavor wont be exactly the same
- Dressing - add just before serving to keep veggies fresh and crunchy
- Protein - add chickpeas, feta, grilled chicken, or crispy tofu for a heartier salad
