MIDDLE EASTERN PITA AND VEGETABLE SALAD (FATTOUSH)
Flat breads become stale very quickly, so it's no surprise that there's an array of Arab dishes made with crumbled up pitas. This is my favorite destination for them (I love any dish where bread is soaked with salad dressing). You can use whatever greens look good in your market -- arugula, watercress, purslane, and cut up leaves of romaine lettuce are all acceptable. The Middle Eastern spice sumac is available in Middle Eastern markets; the salad will still be delicious if you don't include it. To keep the fat a little lower I've substituted plain low-fat yogurt for some of the olive oil in the authentic recipe.

Steps:
- If your pita breads are hard, break them up into pieces. If they are not, cut them into quarters and split the quarters open. Toast the pieces in a toaster oven, or in a 325ºF oven, until lightly browned and crisp.
- Combine the garlic, lemon juice, salt, olive oil, yogurt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Toss the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Just before serving, add the dressing and toss together. Crumble in the pita bread and toss again. Taste, adjust seasonings, and serve.
