Ingredients

1 Head of romaine (I used the hearts only because I like it crispy. Cut into bite size pieces)
2 Persian cucumbers (chopped)
1 pint Cherry tomatoes (quartered)
1.5 whole wheat pita pocket (cut into squares or triangles)
Olive oil (to taste and for frying and drizzling)
Radishes (to taste and thinly sliced)
1/2 bunch Parsley (finely chopped)
3 Scallions (chopped)
6 Mint leaves (chiffonade)
1.5 tsp Sumac
1.5 tbsp Pomegranate molasses
1 tsp Dried mint
1 Lemon
Salt and pepper (to taste)

1
First, let your tomatoes sit atop a strainer with salt for 15-20 minutes. The tomato water will be the base for the dressing.

Secondly, add some olive oil to a pan and preheat. Then, fry half of the pita until super crispy and half not so much. I love the texture difference.
3
Mix the lemon, pomegranate molasses, sumac, dried mint, salt/pepper and tomato water.
4
Add in the cucumber, tomato, parsley, mint and scallions.
5
Lastly, mix in the romaine using clean hands and then add olive oil to taste. Mix some of the pita in the salad, and use the rest for topping. Add the radishes.
