MAKE THE MEDITERRANEAN DRESSING
- Add the lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, sumac, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl.
- Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl while continuously whisking the mixture.
- Keep whisking until the dressing becomes glossy and no pools of olive oil are visible. Place aside.
FRY THE PITA BREAD
- Cut the pita into bite-size pieces.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Once heated drizzle in a couple tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add the pita pieces, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Fry the pita until golden brown, continuously stirring, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the crispy bread and place aside on a paper-towel-lined plate. Place aside.
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND SERVE
- Place the romaine at the bottom of a large serving bowl or platter, followed by the radishes, cucumbers, green onion, and fresh herbs.
- Top with tomatoes and the fried pita. Drizzle the dressing over all of the ingredients and lightly toss just before serving.
