Instructions

  • Make pita chips. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut 2-3 pita bread slices into bite-sized cubes and put them in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake the chips for 10-15 minutes, tossing them a few times.
  • Prep the vegetables.
    Chop or tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Cut the cucumber lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and mushy middle before slicing it. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half or quarter them, and slice the scallions and radishes. Clean the seeds and core from the green pepper and dice it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Make the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, pomegranate molasses, black pepper, and sumac.
  • Finish the salad. Mix the vegetables and pomegranate seeds in a large bowl, add the dressing, and top with pita chips. 

Notes

  • Look for pomegranate molasses (pomegranate syrup) at grocery stores. Try near the salad dressing, syrup, or traditional molasses. You can also find it at stores specializing in Middle Eastern or Mediterranean foods.
  • Be sure to dry veggies before preparing them. For extra crispy lettuce, wash the leaves, gently wrap them in a few paper towels and chill them for a few hours.
