Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 small pita breads
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying (optional)
2 tomatoes, diced (or 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved)
1 large or two small cucumbers, diced
1 cup scallions, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, diced
3 radishes, thinly sliced in semicircles
1 romaine lettuce head, torn into small pieces
3/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 1/2 cups olive oil
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup sumac
1 cup fresh mint, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Tear the bread into pieces (roughly 1-inch-square). Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat, and fry the bread bits until nicely browned and crisp, then set aside to drain on a plate lined with paper towels; or you can toast the pita instead of frying.
  • 2. Combine vegetables, lettuce, parsley, and bread pieces in a large bowl, and toss well.
  • 3. Whisk olive oil and lemon juice, and mix in garlic, sumac, mint, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • 4. Pour dressing over salad and toss thoroughly.
