I served this to my husband's Egyptian family, and it was a hit!

This is a great recipe, very refreshing. For a twist I added a little bit of pomegranate molasses and vinegar...very delicious!

GREAT recipe!!! My husband and I love Mediterranean food, and this salad tastes just like the kind we love from our favorite restaurant. I could not find sumac spice, and I think it would have added more flavoring. Next time, I am going to use store bought pita chips and make the dressing a few hours in advance to let the flavors mix. Also, I'm going to get some sumac spice. Will be making this again!!! Thanks!!

Great! Skipped the sumac powder and didn't try to replace it with anything. Bought pita bread "chips" at the store that were already pre-toasted. I used dried herbs instead of fresh -- used just 1/3 the listed fresh quantity. Was great and will make again.

Great Salad Recipe. I didn't have the sumac powder. Still yummy.

I love this recipe. It is delicious. My husband is from Jordan, and this is a regular salad there. May I suggest to fry the bread (which is traditionally done in Jordan and other Arab countries) in pieces instead of baking it. I know it adds unwanted calories, but it adds wonderful flavor and it doesn't get soggy as mentioned in some of the reviews.

All I can say is Awesome! This taste just like I have had in restaurants! Will fix again and again. Didn't change a thing - except I cheated and used Stacy's Pita Chips.

I want to qualify this review by stating that I did not find sumac powder and substituted lemon zest instead. I also used too much mint as I was "eyeballing" it. So, I'm definitely going to try to make it again after I order some sumac powder online. But, my first time out it wasn't that great. And then, of course, with the leftovers, the pita chips were soggy. Next time I'll just let people put their own on instead of tossing with the salad. Still, I love the combo of ingredients (especially with an abundance of tomatoes & cukes in my garden right now), so it's worth some tinkering.

YUM! This was soooo good and reminded me a lot of a salad we make, that we call 'syrian salad'. I've never used sumac before, but I bought it at the Mediterranean market and thought I would go for it...it was wonderful. Everything about this salad was great! I will be using this recipe again, for sure! Thanks for sharing. :)
