Try this delightful Middle Eastern bread salad for a sophisticated side dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 20.00 ml sumac
  • 2 rounds (14.5cm-diameter) wholemeal pita bread
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 red onion, halved, cut into thin wedges
  • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, halved lengthways, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 250.00 ml loosely packed fresh mint leaves
  • 250.00 ml loosely packed fresh continental parsley leaves
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Mix garlic, 1 tablespoon of oil, and half the sumac in a bowl. Coat both sides of pita bread with the oil mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then place on a baking tray. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crisp. Let cool before serving.
  • In a serving bowl, mix together the onion, remaining oil, and remaining sumac. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  • Tear pita bread into bite-sized pieces. Combine torn pita bread with tomato, cucumber, mint, and parsley in the onion mixture, gently toss together. Serve promptly.
