How to Make Mediterranean Chopped Salads in Pitas

The one thing I love about this salad is that you can literally use any veggies you have on hand. I like this recipe for Mediterranean Chopped Salad in Pitas because it also helps me clean out the fridge of any product that needs to be used up.

For this actual recipe, I used cucumber, lettuce, one can of drained chickpeas, avocado, diced tomatoes, feta cheese, dill, and red onion.

Then, we made a mint yogurt tahini dressing to go on top that made this chopped salad SING!

Once you get it all mixed up together, stuff it inside a pita pocket for a delicious and tasty dinner. If you want, you can toast up the pitas — which takes about 3-5 minutes. It allows them to get crispier and adds a little crunch to the salad.

This Mediterranean chopped salad in pitas really tastes amazing and is a great way to get a dose of veggies in for sure.
