Method

3 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the grill. Toast the pitta breads on both sides until puffed up and starting to crisp. Split in half, brush with olive oil and toast the insides until lightly golden. Break into bite-sized pieces and cool.

  2. Step 2

    Tip all of the prepared vegetables into a bowl and gently mix with the chopped herbs.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl mix together the lemon juice, remaining olive oil and season well with sea salt and black pepper. Pour over the salad, sprinkle with the sumac and mix to combine. Leave to one side for 30 minutes to let all of the flavours mingle and then serve with hummus and pan fried halloumi.
