2 lemon cucumbers or 1 English cucumber
6 scallions
3/4 lb tomatoes, chopped
1/4 lb golden tomatoes, cut in half
salt
3 pita bread or 3 arabic bread, day old
1 head romaine lettuce
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
1 bunch of fresh mint
1 cup purslane, rinsed and drained
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground sumac
freshly cracked black pepper
lemon wedge, for garnish

1
Whisk together in a non-reactive bowl the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac and black pepper. Set aside.
2
Dice the lemon cucumbers. (If using English cucumber, peel then dice.) Chop the scallions and mix the cucumbers, scallions and tomatoes together in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and allow to stand 10 minutes.
3
Toast the bread until lightly browned then cool. Once cool enough to handle, break the bread up into 1 inch pieces and place in a serving bowl or platter.
4
Cover the bread with the cucumber/tomato mixture and let stand 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the juices.
5
Chop the romaine lettuce, parsley and mint. Strip the purslane leaves from the stalks. Stir the herbs into the salad.
6
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and serve immediately.
7
NOTE: DO NOT prepare the salad in advance. If the salad is prepared too soon it will turn soggy. Best eaten the same day it is prepared.
