Middle Eastern Pita Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 pita breads
  • 8 leaves romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cucumber, chopped
  • 3 tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sumac powder
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for optimal results.
2
Place the pita bread in the oven and toast it for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches a crispy state. Remove the pita from the oven and cut it into smaller, manageable pieces.
3
In a large serving container, combine the toasted pita pieces with chopped romaine lettuce, sliced green onions, diced cucumber, and halved tomatoes. Mix gently to avoid bruising the vegetables.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together chopped parsley, minced garlic, sumac powder, freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add a handful of chopped fresh mint leaves to the mixture. Pour the dressing over the pita and vegetable mixture, and toss just before serving.
