Instructions

MAKE THE MEDITERRANEAN DRESSING

  1. Add the lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, sumac, salt, and pepper into a mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
  3. Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl while continuously whisking the mixture.
  4. Keep whisking until the dressing becomes glossy and no pools of olive oil are visible. Place aside.

FRY THE PITA BREAD

  1. Cut the pita into bite-size pieces.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Once heated drizzle in a couple tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. Add the pita pieces, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Fry the pita until golden brown, continuously stirring, about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the crispy bread and place aside on a paper-towel-lined plate. Place aside.

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND SERVE

  1. Place the romaine at the bottom of a large serving bowl or platter, followed by the radishes, cucumbers, green onion, and fresh herbs.
  2. Top with tomatoes and the fried pita. Drizzle the dressing over all of the ingredients and lightly toss just before serving.
