Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups of chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 cups of chopped cucumbers
- 20 baby plum tomatoes
- 1/2 green bell pepper
- 7 small radishes
- 2 small green onions
- a handful of fresh parsley
- 2 sprigs of fresh mint
- 4 tbsp of olive oil
- 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice
- 3 tbsp of pomegranate molasses
- 1 tsp of sumac
- 1 tsp of salt
- 4 oz pita chips or 2 small pita breads to make homemade pita chips
Instructions
- Chop the romaine lettuce, cucumber, green pepper, parsley, and mint leaves. Slice or dice the radishes. Dice the green onions and halve the baby plum tomatoes (or chop them if using big tomatoes). Add everything to a large bowl and mix to combine the ingredients.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, sumac, and salt with a whisk to make the salad dressing. Then, add it to the salad bowl and give everything a mix to combine.
- Add the pita chips just before serving so that they stay crisp and don’t get soggy. If making your own pita chips, cut up 2 small pita breads, drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil, top with 1/2 tsp of Maldon salt, and bake in the oven for about 7 minutes at 200°C (390°F).
- It really is that simple! Either plate up yourself, or bring the mixing bowl to the dinner table and let everyone spoon as many delicious helpings of this classic salad onto their plates as they want.
Recipe Notes
- You can also use baby gem lettuce instead of romaine lettuce.
- You can use any flavorful tomatoes you prefer, including tomatoes on the vine, Roma tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes.
