How to cook it · about 25 minutes
- Heat the oven to 400F. Tear or cut the pita into bite-size pieces, toss with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and a pinch of salt, and bake on a sheet pan for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool.
- Whisk the rest of the olive oil with the juice of both lemons, the grated garlic, the sumac, the pomegranate molasses if using, and 1 tsp salt.
- Chop the romaine into bite-size pieces. Dice the cucumber, tomatoes and bell pepper, thinly slice the radishes and green onions, and roughly chop the parsley and mint leaves.
- Put all the vegetables and herbs in a big bowl and pour the dressing over. Toss well.
- Add the toasted pita right before serving and toss again, so some pieces soak up dressing and some stay crunchy. Sprinkle a little more sumac on top. Serve on its own or next to grilled chicken or kofta.
