This is one of those quick-prep salads that’s a perfect addition to your BBQ. Especially when you’re including these grilled pitas.
Yesterday, we shared some “BBQ additions” that can upgrade the meal, including this Pastrami Topping for Burgers.
One of those BBQ upgrades that is really a favorite is a BCP classic– these grilled pitas. Perfect condiments and fresh hot grilled bread are those unexpected crowd-pleasers that make everyone linger just a little longer. It’s those thoughtful details that turn a casual cookout into an unforgettable summer gathering.
Since I’m always leaning towards Middle Eastern-style BBQ (everything is better when it starts with a fresh Chummus Plate!), this salad is the best quick addition.
It’s quick and simple to prep. All you need to chop is your red onion–the Frenching method is best, slicing the onion from top to bottom (slice it in half first, so you can set the flat surface on the cutting board).
Add lots of fresh parsley.
Prepare the dressing. The key secret ingredient here is sumac. It’s not scary, really–try it! It has a lemony zing and is just perfect paired with Middle-Eastern flavors, like this Israeli salad, or simply sprinkled on chummus to dress it up.
Toss the dressing with the salad.
And enjoy!
It’s great with your BBQ, or any Middle Eastern-inspired meal–especially with grilled chicken and techina!
