Instructions

This warm sheet-pan salad takes inspiration from fattoush, with a seasonally-appropriate cast of roasted squash, cabbage, and red onion. Then comes the kid bait: Crispy pita chips so delicious and easy that you should definitely toast extra. And Halloumi, a feta-like salty brined Cypriot cheese that’s often grilled, but when roasted becomes golden brown and pillowy soft. Finish it with cider vinegar, which adds complex sweetness, and sumac, the tart spice that’s essential in classic fattoush.
