LEBANESE-STYLE BREAD SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND HERBS
Ripe tomatoes, cool cucumbers and toasted pita bread, or Middle-Eastern bread salad. To be completely authentic, this Lebanese dish that is served in various forms across the region should also contain a sprinkling of reddish powdered sumac, which has a sour, lemony flavor and is available from good spice merchants. Fresh purslane, a slightly sour green succulent plant, is also traditional to the dish. You can sometimes get it at farmers markets, or find it growing wild. (It volunteers itself in most vegetable gardens.) But neither is required.

Steps:
- Toast pita until crisp and dry. When cool, break into bite-size pieces and set aside.
- Put tomato, cucumber, pepper, onion and scallions in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, garlic and cumin. Pour dressing over vegetables and mix to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to an hour, if desired.
- Just before serving, add parsley, mint, cilantro and toasted pita. Toss gently. Sprinkle with sumac, if using.
