This Crispy Chickpea Fattoush Salad is a textural masterpiece and a celebration of freshness. It starts with the classic base of chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, and herbs, but adds a twist with oven-roasted crispy chickpeas for extra protein and crunch. The signature element is the toasted or fried pita bread pieces that soak up the bright, lemony dressing flavored with sumac and mint. Every forkful offers a perfect mix of crisp, crunchy, juicy, and tender. It's a substantial salad that can easily stand alone as a light lunch or work beautifully as a side to grilled meats. Refreshing, colorful, and utterly addictive.
