Notes
- Pita Chips: If you prefer a healthier version, you can bake the pita chips instead of frying them. Just toss them in a little olive oil and bake until crispy.
- Dressing: If you make the dressing ahead of time, give it a good whisk or shake before adding it to the salad to make sure all the flavors are well-combined.
- Leftovers: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the pita separately to maintain its crunch.
- Sumac Substitute: Can't find sumac? A bit of lemon zest can work in a pinch.
- Gluten-Free: Easily make this dish gluten-free by using gluten-free pita bread or croutons.
