I love feta cheese. It is definitely one of my favorites. By combining it with almonds (one of the healthiest foods around), you can really have one of the best Mediterranean Dips with your friends. It can be served with pita chips, olives or veggies. Be creative 🙂

Ingredients
1/2 cup almonds
2.5 cups feta cheese, crumbles
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon oregano (dried)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon parsley (dried)
olive oil and pita chips to serve

Fattoush is a very common Mediterranean salad made with fresh toasted, baked or fried pita chips, romaine lettuce and “tons” of vegetables. The vegetables in this salad are cut into relatively larger pieces compared to other traditional salad which has more finely chopped veggies. The key ingredient with Fattoush is Sumac. tabbouleh which requires ingredients to be finely chopped. Sumac gives the salad a tangy, lemon flavor. I use baked pita chips for a healthier version.

Ingredients

• 1 romaine lettuce heart, chopped (~10 leaves or 2 cups)
• 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup mint, chopped
• 1/2 cup green onion, chopped (~3 pieces)
• 1/2 cup radishes, chopped (~4-5 pieces)
• 1 cucumber, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 3 medium size tomatoes, chopped (remove seeds)
• 1 cup pita chips

Dressing

• 2 teaspoons sumac
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup  extra virgin olive oil

Pita chips are baked from pita bread. They can be seasoned in a variety of ways. They are crunchier and thicker than a traditional potato chip, and they are also HEALTHIER 🙂 This recipe is for fattoush salad pita chips.
