Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 small pita rounds
½ cup olive oil, plus 2 tbs
salt, to taste
2 medium hearts romaine lettuce
1 medium cucumber
2 cups cherry tomato
5 scallions
½ cup radish, sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 cups fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup fresh mint, chopped
1 ½ lemons, juiced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground sumac, or lemon zest
¼ teaspoon allspice
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Slice the pitas in half to make 4 thin rounds. Place the pitas on a nonstick sheet pan. Brush with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt.
  • Bake for about 5 minutes, until the outside is golden brown. Let cool until they become crispy.
  • Make 3 cuts lengthwise on each of the romaine hearts, remove the stems, and chop into smaller pieces. Rinse, drain, and add to a large salad bowl.
  • Seed the cucumber, dice it, and add it to the salad bowl.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half and add them to the salad bowl.
  • Mince the scallions and add them to the salad bowl.
  • Add the radishes, bell pepper, parsley, and mint to the salad bowl and toss to combine.
  • In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup (120 ml) of oil, the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic, sumac, allspice, salt, and pepper and whisk until well-combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad.
  • Break the crispy pitas into small pieces and add to the salad. Toss well.
  • Enjoy!
