Instructions

1Make the Dressing

Combine Ingredients

In a jar or bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, sumac, pomegranate molasses, dried mint, salt, and pepper.

Emulsify

Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is emulsified. Set aside.

2Fry the Pita Bread

Heat Oil

In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Fry Pita

Add the pita bread triangles to the hot oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pita bread becomes crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain

Remove the fried pita bread from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

3Assemble the Salad

Combine Vegetables

In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, quartered cucumbers, chopped green pepper, diced radishes, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley.

Dress the Salad

Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.

Add Pita

Add the fried pita bread to the salad immediately before serving to maintain its crispness.

Tips

Keep the fried pita bread separate until just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.

For a smoother dressing, you can make it in a blender or small food processor.

Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor and texture.
