Lebanese Herb Salad

---

I found this on the web and adapted it to make a fabulous salad. I would never have thought of putting cinnamon in a dressing but it really works here. I have sometimes left the mint out and just increased the amount of the two other herbs.

Steps

---

Place the herbs , lettuce , cilantro , scallions , pepper and tomatoes in a bowl.

---

Separately , whisk together the olive oil , lemon juice , cinnamon , salt and pepper.

---

Toss the dressing together with the salad and let rest for 15 minutes.

---

About 5 minutes before you want to eat , toast the pita breads and then cut each in half crossways.

---

Cut each half into 3 strips to make 12 pieces.

---

Arrange 6 strips around each plate and heap the salad in the middle.
