First, preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure they do not burn. Once toasted, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cucumber lengthwise, then slice it into half-moon shapes and add it to the bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the radishes thinly. Add both to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and one minced garlic clove to make the dressing.
Add ground sumac, salt, and black pepper to the dressing, and whisk until fully combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Finally, sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the top before serving.
