Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the pita breads into small triangles or strips and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pita pieces, tossing to coat them evenly.

While the pita is baking, wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Step 6

Peel the cucumber, if desired, and slice it into thin half-moons. Add to the salad bowl.

Step 7

Chop the tomatoes into small wedges and thinly slice the radishes. Add both to the bowl.

Step 8

Finely chop the green onions, parsley, and mint leaves, then add them to the salad.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic clove, sumac, salt, and black pepper.

Step 10

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 11

Add the crispy pita pieces just before serving, and give the salad one final toss.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a fresh and vibrant accompaniment to your meal.
