Salad Ingredients

1 large organic cucumber peeled and sliced
2 cups heirloom tomatoes diced
4 pieces radishes thinly sliced
1 cup romaine lettuce chopped
2 pieces scallions chopped
½ cup fresh parsley chopped
¼ cup fresh mint leaves chopped
2 pieces whole wheat pita bread coarsely torn into bite-sized pieces

Dressing Ingredients

⅓ cup olive oil high quality
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sumac
1 teaspoon sea salt to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Peel and slice the cucumber, dice the tomatoes, and thinly slice the radishes. Chop the romaine lettuce, scallions, parsley, and mint leaves.
In a large salad bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, scallions, parsley, and mint. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.
For the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
Toast the pita bread pieces in a dry skillet over medium heat (175°C/350°F) for about 5 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until well coated. Just before serving, add the crispy pita bread pieces and toss gently once more.

Notes

For a twist, try adding a handful of pomegranate seeds for a burst of juicy sweetness.
