Instructions
-
Set the oven to 375 degrees F. With kitchen shears, cut the pita round into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, sprinkle the pita with just enough olive oil so a drop lands on each piece. Toss well. Sprinkle with salt and toss again.
-
Spread the pieces out on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 2 minutes, then toss the chips. Bake another 2 minutes and toss again.
-
Remove any pieces that are starting to look crisp and golden. Continue baking for another 1 to 2 minutes until all the pieces are crisp and golden. Set aside to cool.
-
In a large bowl combine the cucumbers, radishes, large and cherry tomatoes, scallions, and red onion.
-
Sprinkle the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper over the vegetables and toss gently but thoroughly. Add the mint and parsley and toss again.
-
Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if you like. Add the pita chips and toss gently to avoid crushing them. Serve immediately.
