Wine with Middle East Fatoosh Salad

[acade]

Does anyone have any idea of what kind of wine you would serve with a Meddle Easter Fatoosh Salad?

[Thomas]

Is that anything like a Noreaster, which we are getting once again this winter?

Seriously, you shall have to describe the dish; haven't a clue what goes into it.

I was curious myself so I pulled this off the Internet.

Whenever I take this to a vegetarian potluck, it is always the first to go.
I put it in an all glass, clear salad bowl.

3 pita breads
1 lb. romaine lettuce, torn into pieces
3 green onions, white and green finely chopped
l cucumber, peeled, deseeded and cubed
4 Roma tomatoes, cubed
3/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
l Tab. dried mint
1/4 cup olive oil
juice from 1/2 of a fresh lemon
l tsp. sumac (optional)
salt to taste
Toast the pita breads and with a scissors, cut into bite sized pieces.
Set aside.
Toss lettuce, green onion, cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, garlic and mint in a large mixing bowl.
Add lemon juice, olive oil and sumac.
Toss.
Add bread and then salt to taste.

Best if allowed to chill for a few hours before serving.

sumac is a maroonish colored middle eastern spice that can be found almost anywhere.
It adds a nice color and flavor.
It's not necessary, but a very nice touch to this recipe.
