Crunchy toasted bread, cold crisp vegetables and a sharp sumac dressing. Toss it at the very last minute so the bread stays loud.

Method

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Tear the pita into bite-size pieces, toss with the olive oil and a pinch of salt, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until crisp and golden.

  2. 02

    Whisk the dressing: olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, sumac, garlic and salt.

  3. 03

    Put the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, spring onions, parsley and mint in a large bowl.

  4. 04

    Just before serving, toss with the dressing and most of the bread. Finish with the rest of the bread and a pinch of sumac.
