Directions

Prep 10 minCook 8 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Arrange the pita quarters on the baking sheet and mist lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and bake until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. Cool completely.

  3. 3

    Make the vinaigrette: In a food processor, pulse the mint, parsley, basil, lemon juice, and sugar until finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly stream in the olive oil until emulsified, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Lightly crush or crumble the cooled pita crisps. On a shallow platter, arrange the tomatoes, cucumber, feta, olives, and pita pieces. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve right away for the best crunch.
