"A crunchy bread salad sharp with sumac."

Chopped cucumber, tomato, radish, and herbs tossed with crisp fried or toasted pieces of pita, dressed with lemon, olive oil, and a generous hit of sumac for sourness. The bread is the point — a way of using up yesterday's khubz.

The sister salad to tabbouleh, and the one with the satisfying crunch.
