Chickpea and pitta salad

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

This is based on fattoush, the popular salad enjoyed in the Lebanon and Syria, and it makes a satisfying main dish. It's important to grill the pitta bread until it is really crisp and golden or it will quickly become soggy when mixed with the other ingredients. The dressing adds the distinctive flavours of olives, anchovy and garlic.
