Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices of pita bread - torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes - halved
  • 1 cucumber - diced
  • 1 bell pepper - diced
  • 1/2 red onion - thinly sliced

For the Sumac Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sumac powder
  • 1 garlic clove - minced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the torn pita bread pieces on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  • Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, thinly sliced red onion, sliced radishes, chopped parsley, chopped mint leaves, and chopped cilantro (if using). Add the cooled toasted pita bread pieces.
  • Add the Dressing: Drizzle the sumac dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to combine, ensuring all the vegetables and bread are evenly coated with the dressing.
  • Optional: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad just before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Serve: Divide the Fattoush-ish Bread Salad among serving plates or bowls. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
