Ingredients

Salad:

  • 2 pita bread

  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped

  • 4 radishes, diced

  • 1 English cucumber, sliced

  • 1 tomato, diced

  • 3 green onions, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed (Optional)

  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh mint

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Dressing:

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon ground sumac

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place pita bread on a baking sheet.

  2. Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is a light brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, 1 to 2 minutes. Break toasted bread into bite-size pieces.

  3. Combine lettuce, radishes, cucumber, tomato, garlic, green onions, parsley, mint, and salt and pepper together in a bowl; toss until salad is well mixed.

  4. Pour lemon juice, olive oil, and sumac into a salad dressing bottle with a lid; cover and shake until blended. Add dressing to salad and toss.

  5. Garnish salad with toasted pita.

Cooks Notes:

Small Lebanese cucumbers can be substituted for the English cucumber.
