Method
Prepare Salad Base

Chop and combine vegetables
Wash and chop romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Dice the tomatoes, cucumber, and green bell pepper. Thinly slice the radishes. Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. Combine all prepared vegetables and herbs in a large salad bowl.
Prepare Fried Pita
- 2
Fry pita bread
Cut pita bread into bite-sized pieces or small triangles. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry pita pieces in batches until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and sumac (if using) while still warm.
Make Dressing

Whisk dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together pomegranate molasses, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Combine and toss
Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad base and toss well to coat evenly. Add the crispy fried pita chips and gently mix them in. Serve immediately to maintain crunchiness.
