Directions:
Toast the pita, either flipping them in a cast-iron skillet or under the broiler, until they are browned and crisp. Set aside.

In a large salad bowl, place the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper, radishes, onion, parsley, and mint. Break up the toasted pita into bite-size pieces and add to the salad.

Make a simple dressing by whisking together the olive oil with the lemon juice, a big pinch of salt, and a grind or two of black pepper. Toss everything together, with either your hands or tongs, until everything is coated with dressing. Sprinkle salad with sumac and serve.
