Who this list is for
This recipe list is designed for home cooks making a Lebanese chicken fattoush salad for four people. It’s for those who want a filling dinner salad with grilled chicken, crisp vegetables, and a tangy sumac dressing. Use this if you want a meal that’s more substantial than a side but doesn’t include grains.
How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry and fridge for any items you already have. Buy the exact amounts listed, like 1 1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts and 2 pita breads. Prep the vegetables: wash and chop romaine hearts, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, and red onion. Gather fresh mint and parsley, and measure out olive oil, lemon, pomegranate molasses, sumac, garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper for the dressing. Toast the pita and grill the chicken before assembling.
Common mistakes
Don’t skip the step of grilling or properly cooking the chicken—it’s the main protein. Avoid soggy pita by toasting it just before serving. Using regular cucumbers instead of Persian can water down the salad. Forgetting fresh herbs or the sumac will make the salad taste flat. Measure your dressing ingredients for balanced flavor.

Before you start cooking
Before prepping, clear space for chopping and have a large salad bowl ready. Marinate the chicken if you like extra flavor. Toast the pita last so it stays crisp.
