How to Make Mixed Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Break 1 large pita round into bite-sized pieces and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  2. While pita is baking, finely chop 1 cucumber, 1/2 medium red onion, and 2 large tomatoes.
  3. Finely chop 1/2 cup fresh parsley, 1/4 cup fresh mint, and 1/4 cup purslane.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. (Optional: Add a pinch of sumac for extra zing!)
  5. In a large bowl, combine the baked pita bread, cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, parsley, mint, and purslane.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
