Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pita bread
- 5 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 5 Radishes
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Sumac
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into small squares and place them on a baking tray.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pita pieces, toss to coat them evenly, and spread them out in a single layer on the baking tray.
Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the pita pieces are golden and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool.
Meanwhile, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and dice the cucumber. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion. Dice the green bell pepper. Thinly slice the radishes. Add all these vegetables to the mixing bowl with the lettuce.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, and toss them into the mixing bowl as well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined.
Just before serving, add the crispy pita pieces into the salad and give it another gentle toss.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture of the pita bread along with the freshness of the salad.
