GREEK CHOPPED SALAD WITH GRILLED PITA RECIPE | COOKING LIGHT
A chopped salad, full of contrasting flavors and textures and bound by a zingy vinaigrette, is a great quick and easy meal. Red bell peppers, romaine, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes are available year-round, making this satisfying main a staple worth keeping in rotation. We take the extra step of grilling the bell peppers along with the pita to add a bit of char and smoky depth. You could also broil the peppers until blackened and peel, and broil the pita until toasted. A can of unsalted cannellini beans is the pantry hero of this salad, though canned chickpeas would also work.
