For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of za'atar to the salad. Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice, garlic, and sumac to suit your personal preferences. If you don't have sheep's milk feta cheese, you can substitute with regular feta cheese or another crumbly cheese. The fried pita bread can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container to maintain its crispness. Add to the salad just before serving.
