Salads-fattoush
by rmgreber
Toasting the pita adds crunch to this bright-tasting salad, and a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of ground sumac?the berry of a bush that grows wild all over Lebanon?add depth. Letting the salad sit for a bit before eating allows the pita to soak up the lemony dressing.
