Instructions
Cut up pita bread into small 1 inch pieces and fry them in oil for 2 minutes until
golden brown. Or for a lower calorie version, simply toast them in a toaster.
Place them on a paper towel to absorb the extra oil and leave to cool.
Put all the vegetables and herbs and toss them together into a bowl.
Toss gently.
Mix ¾ cup olive oil and juice of
½ lemon along with
¾ teaspoon of salt and
¼ teaspoon of pepper and mix well.
Toss the fried or toasted bread pieces on top of the salad then follow with the dressing.
Garnish the salad with a teaspoon of sumac sprinkled on top
