Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 4 zucchini
- 2 peppers, red and/or yellow
- 3 pita breads
- 1 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled and chopped into 3/4 inch cubes
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 3/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 cup pitted or halved kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped mint
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 juicy lemon, squeezed
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the grill to high. Halve the zucchinis lengthwise and cut the peppers into large chunks, removing seeds.
Step 2
Separate the layers of the pitas to make 6 pita circles.
Step 3
Drizzle olive oil over the zucchini, peppers, and pitas. Season them with salt and pepper, then roll them around to ensure they are well coated with oil. Grill the veggies for about 2-3 minutes per side, until nice grill marks have formed and the veggies are slightly tender. Then grill the pitas for 1 minute per side, until toasty.
Step 4
In a large serving bowl, add all the other veggies and herbs (cucumber, tomato, green onions, olives, mint, parsley).
Step 5
Once the grilled veggies have cooled, chop them into 3/4 inch cubes and add them to the serving bowl.
Step 6
Break the grilled pitas into bite-size pieces and add them to the serving bowl. Toss the salad and sprinkle the feta cheese over the top.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup olive oil and the juice of one lemon. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad when ready to serve.
