Instructions
Toast the Pita:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Toss pita pieces with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. After that bake for 8-12 minutes until golden and crisp. Then set aside to cool.
Prepare Vegetables:
Now, in a very large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, bell pepper, green onions, parsley and mint.
Prepare the Dressing:
Whisk or shake the olive oil in a small jar, include lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, sumac, garlic, salt and pepper until well combined and emulsified.
Assemble and Serve:
Just before serving, drizzle about three-quarters of the dressing over the vegetables. Toss it gently. Then fold in the toasted pita pieces. Now, serve immediately, garnished with a light sprinkle of sumac.
Notes
- Pro Tip: To prevent a watery salad, use a slotted spoon to transfer the salad from the mixing bowl to the serving dish, leaving any accumulated moisture behind.
