this was delicious! light and refreshing. i didn't have sumac but i did have zaatar and know that sumac is an ingredient, so i substituted it. i made extra salad so we could use it for falaffel.the hardest part of this recipe is the fine dicing, but this is very much like the israeli salads i remember.

This is a delicious tasty salad that I usually enjoy at my favourite Lebanese restaurant. It's great to be able to make this at home!

Excellent salad. One time I made it, I had no lemons. We all liked it better that way. There is something of a lemon tang in sumaq, and that was enough for us. I also left out the pita, and it was still a great salad. Quick and refreshing.

Addicting! Add some minced fresh dill and cilantro too! And if you want to go a little Greek with it add some cubed feta cheese.

What a gorgeous salad!! I baked the pita pieces in the oven (no oil) until they were toasted. This makes a great summertime salad!! Thanks!!
