Notes
- Pita chips: If you want to pan-fry your pita instead of baking it, simply heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place pita pieces into the skillet (making sure not to crowd the pita) and fry in batches until golden brown and crisp. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Add protein: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas to make the salad more filling.
- Add cheese: Crumble some feta cheese or goat cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
