Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Cucumber
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 5 Radishes
- 3 Green onions
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Ground sumac
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the pita bread into small triangles or bite-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown. Set aside to cool.
While the pita chips are baking, wash and prepare the vegetables: Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and then into thin slices, dice the tomatoes, chop the red bell pepper into small cubes, slice the radishes thinly, and chop the green onions.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and fresh mint leaves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all chopped vegetables and herbs. Mix gently to combine.
To make the dressing, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic clove, ground sumac, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until well-blended.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Just before serving, add the cooled pita chips to the salad and toss once more lightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and crispy textures.
