Traditional fattoush salad, which originated in the Middle East, is a flavorful combination of fried or toasted pita bread, fresh seasonal herbs and vegetables. Here, grilled chicken adds a boost of lean protein, and for those of you who can't eat gluten, I've swapped the pita for gluten-free pizza crust. Mix in some crisp bell peppers and cucumbers tossed with arugula and fresh Italian parsley, and top it all off with creamy feta cheese and Lemon-Oregano Vinaigrette for a delicious and nourishing one-bowl meal.

Ingredients

Lemon-Oregano Vinaigrette:

Salad:

Directions

  1. For the lemon-oregano vinaigrette: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano and salt and pepper to taste in a small jar. Cover, shake well and set aside.
  2. For the salad: Put the arugula in a large salad bowl. Add the tomatoes, parsley, cucumber and peppers and toss well.
  3. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the olive oil over the pizza crust, distributing it on both sides. Place the crust in the skillet and heat for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, being careful not to burn. Remove and cut into approximately 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  4. Put the chicken and crust pieces on top of the salad. Add the feta and pour the vinaigrette over the top. Toss well before serving.
