Ingredients

  • 2 pitas
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) canola oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 small head Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) cooked green lentils
  • 1 cucumber, chopped
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • quarter red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (250 mL) chopped Italian parsley, mint, or cilantro
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely crushed
  • to taste, salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F (200°C). Brush pitas with oil and bake for 10-12 minutes, until toasted. Break into pieces.
  2. Arrange romaine, lentils, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and herbs in a wide, shallow bowl or platter. In a small jar, combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper and shake to fully combine. Drizzle over the salad, adding the broken toasted pitas at the end to keep them crunchy. Serve immediately.

Quick Tip: Add a garlic clove when cooking your lentils to boost flavour.
Add a handful of crunchy, chopped radishes or salty, crumbled Feta cheese - both are delicious additions to this salad
