My favorite summer salad on the menu when I worked at Zefiro was fattoush, a Lebanese salad of toasted pita bread and vegetables with a lemony dressing. Here’s my version. Sumac is a spice used in Middle Eastern cooking that adds a lemony, tart finish.
| 2 | whole-wheat pita breads |
| 2 | cups romaine lettuce, washed, dried, and chopped |
| 1 | cup chopped ripe tomatoes |
| 1 | cup peeled and chopped cucumbers |
| 1 | green pepper, seeded and chopped |
| ½ | cup radishes, sliced in half (optional) |
| 4 | Tbsp. finely chopped red onion |
| 4 | Tbsp. finely chopped Italian parsley |
| 4 | Tbsp. finely chopped mint |
| ¼ | cup extra-virgin olive oil |
| 4 | Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice |
| ~ | Salt and freshly ground black pepper |
| ~ | Sumac (optional) |
