Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the radishes thinly. Add both to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Thinly slice the red onion and add to the bowl.

Step 6

Chop the fresh parsley and fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad.

Step 7

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and one minced garlic clove to make the dressing.

Step 8

Add ground sumac, salt, and black pepper to the dressing, and whisk until fully combined.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Finally, sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the top before serving.
