Ingredients
- Two tablespoons of grapeseed oil
- Two pita bread rounds, sliced into 1-inch chunks
- Two cups of finely shredded romaine lettuce
- A green bell pepper, chopped into small, manageable pieces
- One large roma tomato, diced into bite-sized portions
- Half of a red onion, thinly sliced
- Half of an English cucumber, cut into bite-sized chunks
- A quarter cup of crumbled feta cheese
- Two tablespoons of freshly chopped mint
- One tablespoon of finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Dressing:
- A quarter cup of extra-virgin olive oil, or more to your liking
- One lemon, freshly squeezed, or to your taste preference
- A clove of garlic, grated for flavor
- Half a teaspoon of Greek seasoning
- Half a teaspoon of ground sumac (if desired)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste
Step 1
Begin by warming grapeseed oil in a spacious skillet over gentle heat. Saute and stir chunks of pita bread in the sizzling oil until they turn a lovely golden brown, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Once done, transfer the crispy bread pieces to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 2
Next, in a generous bowl, combine the crisp romaine lettuce with juicy tomato chunks, slices of red onion, refreshing cucumber pieces, crumbled feta cheese, fragrant mint leaves, and finely chopped parsley.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together some extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, a blend of Greek seasoning, a pinch of tangy sumac, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of black pepper until the flavors meld beautifully. Pour this flavorful olive oil concoction over the vibrant lettuce mixture and the crunchy pita bread pieces, giving everything a good toss to ensure each component is nicely coated.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Mason Jar Magic : Layer your salad ingredients in a mason jar starting with the dressing at the bottom, followed by sturdy vegetables, grains, proteins, and finally delicate greens on top for a perfectly preserved salad on the go.
- 2. Freeze and Slice : Prep and freeze your favorite salad toppings like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. Simply slice them when you're ready to assemble your salad for a quick and easy meal.
