1 pitta bread, torn into small pieces
8 plum tomatoes, seeds removed, quartered
half cucumber, peeled, cut into 5cm/2in batons
half green pepper, cut into strips
8 radishes, sliced
1 shallot, sliced
1 small handful rocket
1 small little gem lettuce
handful fresh mint leaves
300 ml/ 10 fl.ozs. olive oil
5 lemons, juice and zest only
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 tablespoons sumac
salt & freshly ground black pepper

1
Start off by making the salad dressing - Everything into a blender (oil, lemon juice, garlic clove, pepper and salt, sumac) and whiz it for a minute or so until everything is blended.
2
-- If you have no sumac, then I wouldn't recommend replacing it with anything else, rather leave it out and add sesame seeds/oil (very small amount) and thyme instead.
3
Sumac has a distinct taste, lemon-y.
4
Next,chop all the salad into pieces, however you wish and put in a large salad bowl.
5
I like them chunky.
6
Tear the pitta bread into pieces and add to the bowl.
7
Serve with the dressing drizzled over the top.
