Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread

- 2 teaspoons Sumac
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into small squares or triangles. Arrange them on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake the pita pieces in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then dice it into small cubes. Add to the bowl.
Dice the tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and trim and slice the radishes. Add them all to the bowl.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, then mix them with the vegetables in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, sumac, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine.
Top the salad with the cooled, crispy pita pieces.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
