In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced radishes, chopped parsley, and sliced green onions.
To make the dressing, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, ground cumin, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Just before serving, add the warm, crispy pita chips to the salad and toss lightly once more to combine.
