Description
Sumac is available at Middle Eastern food stores. It may be left out of this salad, but the flavor to me is important to the overall taste.
Ingredients
- 2 pita breads
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- 3 tomatoes, cut into wedges
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons sumac powder
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh mint leaves
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 2. Toast pitas 5 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until crisp. Remove from heat, and break into bite size pieces.
- 3. In a large bowl, toss together toasted pita pieces, romaine lettuce, green onions, cucumber, and tomatoes.
- 4. In a small bowl, mix the parsley, garlic, sumac powder, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and mint. Pour over the pita mixture, and toss just before serving.
