Ingredients
Salad
- 1 head romaine lettuce torn
- 2 medium tomatoes diced
- 1 cucumber diced
- 4 radishes thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1 pita bread toasted and torn
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a large salad bowl, combine the torn romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced radishes, sliced red onion, chopped mint leaves, and chopped parsley leaves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Just before serving, add the toasted and broken pita bread pieces to the salad, tossing lightly to combine. Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Notes
TO STORE: Remove any pita bread pieces and set them aside separately. Transfer the remaining salad to an airtight container or a salad bowl covered with plastic wrap and refrigerate. It is best to consume the salad within 1-2 days to ensure optimal flavor and texture. Before serving, add the reserved pita bread pieces and toss them with the salad to restore the desired texture.
