1. 1

   Cut open the breads and toast them under the broiler until they are crisp turning them over once. Break them into small pieces in your hands.

2. 2

   Put all the vegetables in a large bowl with the onions, rocket and purslane leaves or lamb’s lettuce, flat leaf parsley, and mint.

3. 3

   For the dressing, mix the olive oil with the lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and sumac.

4. 4

   Just before serving, add the toasted bread and toss well with the dressing. Serves 6-8. Variation: for the old style version, put the broken pieces of toast in a bowl. Moisten and soften with a little cold water or lemon juice before adding them to the salad. The New Book of Middle Eastern Food.
