Serves 6
Prep Time: 20 minutes

4 small tomatoes
1 small onion
1 and 1/2 cucumbers
1/3 bunch mint (leaves only)
1/4 bunch parsley (leaves only)
1/3 head Romaine lettuce
1/2 green pepper
1 radish
1 tsp sumac
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt

2-3 loaves pocket bread

Split loaves and bake bread in oven at 180 degrees until crispy and golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Then break into small pieces.

Chop onions, tomatoes, mint, parsley, green pepper and radish coarsely and place in large mixing bowl. Cut lettuce in half lengthwise and then widthwise into small rectangles. Mix together with chopped ingredients, salt and olive oil. Add baked bread chunks and mixture and serve immediately.

Hint: If you don’t like soggy bread, serve the salad without the bread mixed in, and place bread chunks on table as you would croutons.
