• Step 1: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.
• Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and sumac (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Step 3: Add the torn pita bread pieces to the salad and toss gently to combine.
• Step 4: Drizzle the lemon-garlic dressing over the salad and toss again to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
