Mediterranean Tomato Salad with Za’atar Pita Chips
My favorite part of this recipe is the toasted pita bread. Toasting the pita wedges in oil and seasoning not only gives them extra flavor and texture, it also allows them to hold their shape when served with the wetter ingredients. The final product is refreshing and delicious!
Ingredients
Pita chips
- 4 pita breads, cut into wedges
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp za’atar seasoning
Salad
- 2 lbs Campari or Roma tomatoes, quartered
- 4.5 oz capers, drained
- ¼ cup julienned red onion
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tsp za’atar seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the pita chips: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a rimmed sheet pan with foil.
- Spread the pita wedges on the prepared sheet pan, drizzle them with the olive oil and sprinkle the za’atar. Toss the pita wedges until they are evenly coated. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp.
- While the pita chips are in the oven, prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and za’atar until well combined.
- Prepare the salad: Add the tomatoes, capers, red onion, parsley, feta cheese, and za’atar to the bowl of dressing. Toss until combined and evenly coated with dressing.
- Serve the salad over the pita chips.
