Method
 

Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the pita bread into bite-sized pieces and toss them in a bowl with extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of sumac. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. In a jar or bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, pomegranate molasses, lime juice, salt, sumac, and finely grated garlic. Whisk or shake until well blended and emulsified.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumber, thinly sliced radishes, green onions, parsley, and mint. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture, ensuring it coats all vegetables evenly. Toss gently to combine without bruising the ingredients.
  5. Sprinkle the crispy pita chips on top just before serving. Enjoy!
