Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°. Arrange pita breads in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until crisp, 8-10 minutes, turning once. Cool.
  Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, radishes, parsley and mint. Break toasted pitas into small pieces over salad. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle over salad; toss to coat.
