💡 Sumac adds a distinct tangy flavor to the salad, so it's worth sourcing it from a Middle Eastern store if you don't have it on hand.For added crunch, you can bake the pita pieces instead of toasting them.Refrigerate the dressing for an hour before use to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.If purslane is unavailable, substitute with any leafy green with a tangy flavor, such as watercress or arugula.
