Ingredients
- 2 cups mini or Persian cucumbers, chopped
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 cup radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 small head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup mint, chopped
- 16 baked pita chips
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon white balsamic or white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground sumac
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prep your pita chips: Bake them following our linked recipe, or pan-fry for extra crispness. Let them cool completely to avoid sogginess in the salad.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, sumac, sea salt, and pepper until fully emulsified.
- Mix the veggies: In a large salad bowl, combine cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, radishes, romaine lettuce, parsley, and mint.
- Add the dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat every piece in the zesty flavors.
- Incorporate the pita chips: Break half the pita chips into bite-sized pieces and toss them into the salad. Reserve the other half for garnish.
- Serve immediately: Divide the salad into bowls, topping each serving with the remaining pita chips for extra crunch. Enjoy!
Notes
For gluten-free and keto-friendly options, use gluten-free pita chips or skip them altogether. Store leftovers by separating veggies, dressing, and pita chips to maintain freshness.
