Ingredients

2 Large pita breads

2 romaine lettuce hearts

2 cups (loosely packed) coarsely chopped arugula

8 radishes, sliced

8 scallions, sliced

1 english cucumber, sliced

2 large pickles (Claussen is great to use)

3 medium vine tomatoes

1/3 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley

1/3 cup finely chopped mint – dry has no flavor, so get fresh!

1 garlic clove crushed

1 tsp salt

¼ cup lemon juice

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 TBS ground sumac..A great middle eastern spice.........

The Middle Eastern spice sumac is available in Middle Eastern markets, but the salad will still be delicious if you don’t include it.

Enjoy this healthy favorite of mine (Yes, I do eat healthy ocassionally!)

Directions

Chop all the vegetables according to the above specifications and place in a large salad bowl. Crush the garlic and chop it coarsely. In a separate small bowl mash the garlic with the salt using a mortar and pestle, or the back of a spoon. Stir in the lemon juice and oil, beating with a fork to mix well. Pour the dressing over the salad. Grind the black pepper over the top of the salad.

Split each of the pitas in half horizontally so that you have 4 thin rounds of bread. Toast the breads lightly under the broiler until they are golden and crisp. Break them into small pieces and crumble them on top of the salad. Mix thoroughly. Top with the sumac.
