How to Make Fattoush Bread Salad

Preheat your grill or broiler. Cut one pita bread into quarters and toast until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Let cool slightly.
Once cooled, roughly tear or crumble the toasted pita into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the toasted pita with the remaining ingredients: 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce, ½ cup chopped cucumber, ½ cup chopped tomatoes, ¼ cup chopped red onion, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint.
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses, 1 teaspoon sumac, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with extra herbs and a sprinkle of sumac before serving. Enjoy!
