Ingredients

2 loaves pita bread
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 tsp sumac, divided, more as needed
1 heart of Romaine lettuce, chopped
1 English cucumber, cut in half, seeds scraped, then chopped or sliced into half moons
5 Roma tomatoes, chopped
5 green onions (both white and green parts), chopped
5 radishes, stems removed, thinly sliced
2 cups chopped fresh parsley leaves, stems removed
1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves (optional)
Juice of 1 lemon or 1 1/2 limes
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, optional
Salt and pepper
1 tsp sumac
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
scant 1/4 tsp ground allspice

Steps:

Break the pita bread into small bite-size pieces. Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan until shimmering, and add the pita bread. Fry briefly until browned, tossing frequently. Using a pair of tongs, transfer the fried pita chips to a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Season with salt, pepper and sumac.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, green onions with the sliced radish and parsley.
To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon or lime juice, olive oil, pomegranate molasses (if using), salt, pepper and spices.
Pour toss lightly. Finally, add the pita chips, and more sumac if you like, and toss one more time. Transfer to small serving bowls or plates. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe vegetables. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help them to absorb the dressing.
Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the salad at room temperature. This is the best way to enjoy the flavors of the vegetables.
