This vibrant salad features juicy cherry tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and cool romaine lettuce, all paired with aromatic fresh parsley and mint for a herbaceous kick.

Perfect as a light meal or a flavor-packed side dish, this 25-minute recipe is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy classic Middle Eastern cuisine.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into small triangles or strips and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pita pieces and toss to coat evenly.
Bake the pita in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
While the pita cools, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the cucumber into small cubes, thinly slice the red onion, and roughly chop the romaine lettuce.
Slice the radishes thinly, and chop the parsley and mint leaves finely.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, sumac, salt, and black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, lettuce, radishes, parsley, and mint.
Add the crispy pita pieces to the salad bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, tangy Fattoush Bread Salad!
