Fattoush (Pitta Salad)

• 1 pitta bread, torn into small pieces
• 8 plum tomatoes, seeds removed, quartered
• half cucumber, peeled, cut into 5cm/2in batons
• half green pepper, cut into strips
• 8 radishes, sliced
• 1 shallot, sliced
• 1 small handful rocket
• 1 small little gem lettuce
• handful fresh mint leaves
• 300 ml/ 10 fl.ozs. olive oil
• 5 lemons, juice and zest only
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 4 tablespoons sumac
• salt & freshly ground black pepper

1. Start off by making the salad dressing - Everything into a blender (oil, lemon juice, garlic clove, pepper and salt, sumac) and whiz it for a minute or so until everything is blended.
2. -- If you have no sumac, then I wouldn't recommend replacing it with anything else, rather leave it out and add sesame seeds/oil (very small amount) and thyme instead.
3. Sumac has a distinct taste, lemon-y.
4. Next,chop all the salad into pieces, however you wish and put in a large salad bowl.
5. I like them chunky.
6. Tear the pitta bread into pieces and add to the bowl.
7. Serve with the dressing drizzled over the top.
