Ingredients

• 3 pitta breads
• 1 romaine lettuce
• 1 cucumber
• 250 g cherry tomatoes
• 80 g pomegranate seeds
• 1.5 tsp sumac
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lemon
• 15 g fresh mint

Method

1. 1

   Tear the pitta breads into rough pieces and toast under the grill or in a dry frying pan until golden and crisp. Set aside.

2. 2

   Roughly chop the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber. Combine in a large salad bowl.

3. 3

   Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac and a pinch of salt to make the dressing.

   Add the toasted pitta pieces and pomegranate seeds to the salad, pour over the dressing and toss gently.

5. 5

   Scatter over fresh mint leaves and serve immediately so the pitta retains some crunch.
