This Southern spin on Middle Eastern fattoush salad can be assembled in the morning before taking off to your picnic, tailgate, or work so the flavors meld and pita chips soften. Serve it directly from the jars. We love wide-mouth Weck jars, though any style will do.
We enjoyed this salad last night tailgating at Tanglewood. Instead of individual servings, for easier transport, I layered it all in a large bowl and that worked fine. I marinated (lemon juice, olive oil and fresh herbs) and grilled chicken breasts instead of the rotisserie chicken. I agree with TECBLC, no need to use as much olive oil. The yogurt dressing is fabulous! And the leftovers I just had were not toooo bad! Great recipe and pretty presentation!
Yummy. Would make again. Also beautiful presentation. One drawback was that leftovers did not hold up well in fridge. Also, why mix all that oil with the chicken layer - it was not needed and better without. I would make this again definitely though. Great to pack for a work lunch or picnic!
