Ingredients

  • 2 (6-inch) pita (pocket) breads, split into 4 rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 (10-oz.) pkg. European or other romaine mixed salad greens
  • 2 medium tomatoes, cubed
  • 1 medium cucumber, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup halved red onion rings
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 2 oz. (1/2 cup) crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup purchased balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing

Steps

  • 1
    Place pita bread rounds on ungreased cookie sheet, outer surface up. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once.
  • 2
    Brush bread rounds evenly with oil. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese. Broil an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned and toasted.
  • 3
    Cut bread rounds into 1 1/2x1/2-inch strips. Cool 5 minutes or until completely cooled.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, in very large bowl, combine salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, onion rings, olives and feta cheese; toss gently.
  • 5
    Just before serving, pour dressing over salad. Add pita bread strips; toss gently.

  • Kalamata olives are purple-black Greek olives with a slender oval shape and rich flavor. Each olive is slit to allow a wine vinegar marinade to fully penetrate the flesh. Kalamata olives are packed with olive oil or vinegar in jars.
  • Ripe olives can be used in place of the kalamata olives in this salad.
  • Prepare pocket bread strips up to 12 hours ahead; store in a plastic bag. Combine the salad blend, vegetables, olives and cheese in a serving bowl. Cover the salad with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap; refrigerate up to 12 hours. Just before serving, toss the salad with dressing and bread strips.
