Very nice fatoush, alijen. I used part romaine, and part herb salad. I brushed the pita with olive oil and sprinkled them with salt. Took less time to crisp for me, about 8 min (although maybe that's because I had only 2 rounds crisping rather than 3). Omitted the garlic from the bread this time around, although that'd be lovely I'm sure. Went well with marinated grilled steak. Thanks for posting!

I'm a graduate student studying agricultural economics, originally from Georgia. (Go dawgs!) I try to eat very healthy, most often low-carb. But, I do love sweets sometimes. I like to bake for others so much- so I do it all the time and have become known for just stopping by with casseroles, brownies etc..
