Loved the salad! I added cucumbers to the mix. I didn’t make the Pita chips. I’ll try them the next time.

We loved this salad. There is a Mediterranean restaurant that we go to and I really like their fatoush salad, and this salad tastes very close to it. Will definetly make again. May even try adding chicken to it, as well.
Robert Callahan
We all really enjoyed this recipe. I did make some additions to the recipe to make the salad a little heartier. I doubled the recipe and added cucumber and garlic and herb feta to the salad — definitely will be making this again.

This has all the ingredients of a taco salad. Instead of cilantro it has ground coriander which is ground up driec cilantro seeds (which look like berries after maturity of the leaves). In addition, I added fresh tomatoes and cilantro leaves. YMMMM – O!

Great summer salad. Colorful, healthy. Be sure to break pita pieces into bite size servings. We will definitely fix again.
Jeremy Gallagher
This was really good–simple to make. I tore the pita chips and then separated them to make them extra crispy. Salad was good even without the chips–my husband is gluten-intolerant, so I just didn’t add the chips to his portion. Still really good. Had I been thinking, I would have saved 1/2 teaspoon of the pita seasoning to add to his salad.
No variations needed on this one!
