Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Cut the pita bread into bite-sized pieces. Toss with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and spread on a baking sheet.
Toast the pita in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Remove and let cool.
Meanwhile, wash and dry the romaine lettuce and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise and cut into thin half-moons. Add to the salad bowl.
Dice the tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion and radishes, then add them to the salad bowl.
Chop the parsley and mint leaves, and add them to the mix.
To make the dressing, juice the lemon into a small bowl. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic clove, ground sumac, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together to coat evenly.
Just before serving, add the toasted pita pieces and gently toss once more.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and crunch of this dairy-free Fattoush salad.
