Instructions

MAKE THE PITA CHIPS:

Preheat your oven to 400°F or 200°C.
Cut the pita into pieces and spray or toss with a little oil. Bake on the middle rack for 8 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Remove and let cool.

MAKE THE LEMON SUMAC DRESSING:

in a jar or bowl, measure and add sumac, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Secure a lid and shake well to combine. You will need to shake or stir as the oil and lemon juice will separate.

MAKE THE SALAD:

In a large bowl, add in the chopped lettuce, herbs, sliced radish, cucumbers, tomatoes, red. and green onion. Use tongs to gentle toss and combine.
Then crumble in the crispy pita pieces and drizzle with about 1/2 the dressing to start (you can always add more later if needed).Use salad tongs to carefully toss the salad in the dressing to coat.
Divide salad into bowls and enjoy!
