Notes
- Storage: Best fresh! Store undressed veggies separately in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep pita chips in an airtight container at room temp.
- Sumac Tip: Sumac brings that signature tangy flavor, if you don’t have it, a little extra lemon zest helps, but it’s worth hunting down.
- Customize It: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or crispy chickpeas to turn it into a full meal.
- Pita Shortcuts: No time to fry or toast your own? Grab some good quality store-bought pita chips and call it a win.
- Make It Extra: A drizzle of pomegranate molasses over the top takes this salad from "yum" to "where has this been all my life?"
