This Mediterranean Chopped salad in Pitas recipe is simple, easy to make, and perfect to help you beat the heat. No cooking is required and ready in less than 20 minutes.

I love when I can make a recipe that not only tastes amazing but can also be made without turning the stove on.

This salad comes together quickly and is very filling thanks to the chickpeas and all the delicious veggies inside.

So let me show you how I make this.

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

I made this for the girls at work. They were eating it with pita chips and with a spoon. That's how much they loved it! I doubled the recipe and easily fed 10 people. I just noticed as I'm about to make it again - you don't have the chickpeas on the ingredient list.
