Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Tear the pita bread into bite-sized pieces and spread them on a baking sheet.
Toast the pita pieces in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced radishes, diced bell pepper, and chopped green onions.
Add the chopped fresh parsley and mint leaves to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, pomegranate molasses (if using), minced garlic, ground sumac, dried mint, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Just before serving, add the toasted pita pieces to the salad and toss lightly to incorporate.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchiness of the pita and the freshness of the vegetables.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of za'atar seasoning to the salad before serving.
