Ronnie's Notes
It’s just a plain old salad. Refreshing and all. But add a few pieces of toasted matzo farfel and it transforms into a holiday treat. Fattoush. The word means “crumbled bread” in Arabic and of course, during the year you can use croutons and such. This is a special version, especially good for Passover.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the farfel on a baking sheet.
Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil over the farfel and toss, coating all the pieces.
Bake for , tossing the farfel occasionally, or until it is lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Place the lettuce shreds, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, bell pepper, scallions, parsley and mint in a bowl.
Mix the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice together.
Pour the dressing over the salad, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and toss the ingredients.
Add the toasted farfel, toss again and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
