Ingredients

For the salad
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups tomatoes cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 cups Persian cucumbers thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup radishes thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup parsley leaves
  • 1/2 cup mint leaves
  • 1 1/2 cups Pita chips
For the dressing
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, red onion, parsley leaves and mint leaves in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Add the pita chips and toss one more time. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Try using a mandoline to thinly slice the radishes, red onion and cucumbers.
  • I prefer to use small Persian style cucumbers for this recipe.
  • I like to leave my parsley and mint leaves whole because they really add a lot of fresh flavor to the salad, but it's also fine to mince them and add them to the dressing.
