Salad Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients
 ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
 1 tsp pomegranate molasses
 1 clove garlic, minced
 ½ tsp salt

Preparing the Salad
1

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the pita bread triangles on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, radish, and green bell pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Making the Dressing
3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembling the Salad

Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture just before serving and toss gently to coat. Add the crispy pita chips on top and serve immediately for the best texture.
