Ingredients
- olive oil
- 4 zucchini
- 2 bell peppers red and/or yellow
- 3 Pita bread pockets
- 1 1/2 cups cucumber peeled and chopped into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1 tomato chopped, large
- 3/4 cup green onion chopped
- 1 cup kalamata olives pitted or halved
- 1/2 cup mint fresh, chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
- 3/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon squeezed, juicy
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high. Half the zucchinis, length-wise. Cut the peppers into large pieces and remove seeds. Separate the layers of the pitas to make 6 pita circles.
- Drizzle olive oil over the zucchini, peppers, and pitas. Then salt and pepper to taste. Roll them around, to make sure they have a good coating of 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 30-60 seconds per side, until toasty.
- In a large serving bowl, add all the other veggies, olives, and herbs. Once the grilled vegetables have cooled, chop them into 3/4-inch cubes and add them to the serving bowl.
- Break the pitas into bite-size pieces and add to the mix. Toss the salad and sprinkle the feta over the top.
- Mix 1/4 cup of olive oil and the juice of one lemon in a small bowl. Season with cumin, then salt and pepper to taste. Whisk well. Drizzle over the salad and serve.

Notes
- Serve shortly after assembling to keep pita pieces crisp and fresh.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; expect some softening of pita over time.
