Fattoush salad - Lebanese salad

I know that many of you had the chance to eat Lebanese food, but i don't know if you ever had the chance to eat Fattoush. Fattoush is a Levantine salad made from toasted pieces of bread and combined with lots of fresh vegetables. The sumac, and the lemon-minty dressing bump this salad up to add texture and flavor. At home, I love to cook Lebanese, maybe because I grew up eating Lebanese food, or maybe because living abroad makes me miss the real Lebanese taste!  

Ingredients (serves 6 to 8): 1 Roman lettuce coarsely chopped - 1 cup coarsely chopped purslane - 1 bunch of parsley chopped - ½ bunch of mint leaves chopped - 2 small cucumbers peeled and diced - 7 to 8 radishes sliced - 2 tomatoes coarsely diced - 1 onion sliced - 2 green onions thinly sliced- 2 cloves of garlic crushed - 1/4 cup of pomegranate molasses (debs el remmen) - ½ cup lemon juice - 2/3 cup olive oil - ½ teaspoon paprika - 1 to 2 tbsp sumac - salt - 2 pita bread cut into strips then toasted and crumbled

Arrange all the vegetables in a big salad bowl.
In a small bowl, mix the pomegranate molasses, the lemon juice, the olive oil, the sumac, the paprika, the salt and the crushed garlic.
Sprinkle the sauce on the vegetables. Toss well.
Add the crumbled pita chops and serve.
