Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mystic_river1 / All my dishes 6 months, 4 weeks ago Toasting the pita adds crunch to this bright-tasting salad, and a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of ground sumac—the berry of a bush that grows wild all over Lebanon—add depth. Letting the salad sit for a bit before eating allows the pita to soak up the lemony dressing. ... More Prep:25m Cook:15m Servings:8	Mystic_rive

Ingredients

2 6-inch whole-wheat pitas, split

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 1/4 teaspoons ground sumac, divided

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 large head romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped

2 large tomatoes, diced

2 small salad cucumbers or 1 large cucumber, seeded and diced (peeled if desired)

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh mint

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place pita halves rough-side up on a large baking sheet.

Brush with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sumac. Bake until the pita halves are golden and crisp, about 15 minutes. When cool, break into bite-size pieces.

Whisk lemon juice, salt, pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon sumac in a large bowl.

Add lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, mint and the pita pieces;

toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

TIP: Note: The tart berries of the sumac bush add another element to many Middle Eastern dishes. Find them whole or ground in Middle Eastern markets or online at kalustyans.com or lebaneseproducts.com.
