This Crunchy Romaine Salad with Lime, Sumac, and Maple Vinaigrette has quickly become my go-to summer entertaining staple!

All the fresh herbs make for an incredibly flavorful bite, but the real star is the Lime, Sumac, and Maple Vinaigrette OH MY WORD!!! Ok, easy, delicious, healthy, goes-with-everything summer salad should be hitting your table in 3, 2, 1…
Crunchy Romaine Salad with Lime, Sumac & Maple Vinaigrette
Ingredients
2 pieces of pita bread, cut or torn into 1” cubes
1/4 cup melted butter
3 heads of romaine, torn or sliced
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh dill, plus more for garnish, torn and tender stems thinly sliced
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
6 radishes, cut in batons
Flaky sea salt
Dressing:
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, from about 8 limes
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tsp maple syrup
2 tsp sumac
2 garlic cloves, smashed
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Instructions
•Preheat oven to 350F.
•Make the vinaigrette first so the garlic has maximum time to steep and flavor the mix overall. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk vigorously to combine. Cover and store in the refrigerator up to 3 days or set aside until ready to use immediately. Discard garlic cloves just before using.
•To make the croutons, add pita pieces and melted butter to walled baking dish along with a generous sprinkle of salt and toss to combine. Place in the oven and bake, shaking every few minutes and rotating pan, until the pita pieces are crisp and golden brown on all sides, 5-10 minutes. Once baked, remove and set to the side until ready to use. They will crisp even more as they cool.
•Add romaine lettuce to your serving bowl and scatter with ribbons of mint, dill scallions, and radishes before dressing to desired coating. Scatter croutons overtop just before serving and garnish with additional torn fresh dill and flaky sea salt. Enjoy!
