Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400F/200C.
Place the pita squares on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and a big pinch of salt, mix well, arrange in a single layer (don’t overlap), and bake for 7-10 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they will burn quickly. Shake the baking sheet or turn the chips over to toast evenly. Set aside to cool completely.
Combine all the dressing ingredients (extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, sumac, pomegranate molasses, salt, and pepper) in a large bowl and whisk to emulsify.
Add all the salad ingredients (chopped lettuce, radicchio, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, green onions, parsley, mint, and dill) to the bowl with dressing and toss to combine.
When ready to serve, add the toasted pita chips to the top of the salad or transfer to a serving platter if you prefer.

Notes

Adjust the amount of radicchio to taste; you can use less or none at all depending on preference.
Ensure that the pita chips are closely monitored while baking to prevent burning.
