  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cucumber (diced)
  • 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup radishes (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 pita breads (cut into triangles)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for toasting pita)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and toast pita: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss pita triangles with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt. Toast for 10–12 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Prepare salad: In a large bowl, combine romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, radishes, parsley, mint, feta cheese, and chickpeas.
  3. Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, sumac, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Toss salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Add toasted pita chips just before serving and toss again.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately for the best crunch.
