- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Sumac

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into bite-sized pieces and spread them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the pita pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes or until the pita is crispy and golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it into a large salad bowl.
Dice the tomatoes and cucumber, slice the red onion thinly, and slice the radishes into thin rounds. Add them to the salad bowl.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, then add them to the salad bowl as well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, the remaining olive oil, sumac, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.
Just before serving, add the cooled crispy pita pieces to the salad and give it a final toss to combine.
