Method

4 steps

1
In a large bowl, whisk the lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, sumac, salt, pepper, and maple syrup. Whisk in a small drizzle of olive oil if you like, no more than a tablespoon.
2
Add the romaine, the chopped veggies (cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, and bell pepper all work), the mint leaves, and the chickpeas if you're using them. Toss until everything is lightly coated.
3
Taste and add a little more sumac, salt, or lemon juice if it needs more punch.
4
Right before serving, add the crushed pita chips and toss once more so they stay crunchy. Scatter the pomegranate arils over the top and serve.
