- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves

Instructions
Wash and dry all the vegetables and herbs thoroughly.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and add it to a large mixing bowl.
Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and then into thin half-moons. Add to the bowl with the lettuce.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Trim and slice the radishes into thin rounds and add to the bowl.
Chop the bell pepper into small pieces and add to the salad mix.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves and sprinkle them over the vegetables in the bowl.
In a small bowl, zest and juice the lemon, and whisk together with olive oil, minced garlic, sumac, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing everything gently to combine well.
Just before serving, crumble the paleo-friendly grain-free crackers or crisps over the salad for added crunch and mix lightly.
Serve immediately while the crackers are still crunchy.
