Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  6. Cut the tomatoes in half and add them to the salad bowl.
  7. Mince the scallions and add them to the salad bowl.
  8. Add the radishes, bell pepper, parsley, and mint to the salad bowl and toss to combine.
  9. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup (120 ml) of oil, the lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic, sumac, allspice, salt, and pepper and whisk until well-combined.
  10. Pour the dressing over the salad.
  11. Break the crispy pitas into small pieces and add to the salad. Toss well.
