Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 3 Scallions
- 1 cup Parsley
- 1 cup Mint leaves
- 5 Radishes
- 4 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Ground sumac
- 1 Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into bite-size pieces and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pita triangles and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake the pita pieces for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool while preparing the rest of the salad.
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Slice the cucumber into half-moons, dice the green bell pepper, finely chop the scallions, and thinly slice the radishes.
Roughly chop the parsley and mint leaves, removing any tough stems.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing: whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, ground sumac, grated garlic clove, black pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cucumber, green bell pepper, scallions, radishes, parsley, and mint.
Add the toasted pita pieces to the salad bowl.
