Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into bite-sized pieces or strips. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy, then set aside to cool.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the tomatoes, cucumber, and radishes into small pieces. Thinly slice the red onion. Add these vegetables to the mixing bowl along with the lettuce.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. Add them to the salad bowl for a fresh herbaceous flavor.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, sumac, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Just before serving, sprinkle the crispy pita pieces on top of the salad to retain their crunch.
