Number Of Ingredients 10

2 regular pita breads, cut into 1-inch squares
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt
3 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 bunch fresh mint, trimmed and leaves thinly sliced
1/2 bunch watercress, trimmed
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups)
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pita squares in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until they are nicely crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and olive oil, and season with salt.
  • In a medium salad bowl, combine toasted pita bread, celery, and cucumber; add vinegar mixture, and toss well to combine. Just before serving, add mint and watercress; gently toss again. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top, and season with pepper.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some lemon juice or vinegar to brighten it up.

I'm not a fan of mint, so I substituted basil in this salad. It was still delicious!
