Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat pitas
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or an extra tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup fresh mint, chopped
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 medium cucumber, English, diced
- 1 medium green apple, cored and diced
- 6 radishes, sliced
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Turn the oven on and set the heat to 375 degrees.
- Put the pita bread on the cutting board and cut into 1/2 inch squares, using the scissors or pizza cutter.
- Put the pita squares, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and the salt in the bowl and mix well. Dump onto the baking sheet, and spread into one layer. Once the oven temperature has reached 375 degrees, put the baking sheet in the oven. Bake until crisp and golden, 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- To make the dressing: Put the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, and pomegranate molasses in the measuring cup and mix well.
- Put the lettuce, mint, parsley, cucumber, apple, and radishes in the bowl. Add the cooled pita squares and dressing and toss well. Add salt and pepper, sprinkle with sumac or lemon zest, and serve right away.
Recipe Tips
No fresh mint? No problem! Swap in 2 teaspoons dried mint or mint tea (either loose or from an herbal tea bag). You can also substitute pita chips for the toasted pita squares.
