This Greek Salad is loaded with fresh vegetables, crispy homemade pita croutons, creamy feta and the best from-scratch Greek dressing. It's a dreamy mixture of bold flavors and textures that's a delicious fresh and light meal or side dish.

In a large bowl, combine pita, olive oil and sea salt.
Spread in an even layer on prepared baking sheet.

Notes
StoreThis Greek salad doesn't store very well or last very long after it's made. So I suggest eating it all if you can (serve it to a lot of guests)! You can make it last longer if you choose not to dress it all at once, but instead mix up the veggies, make the croutons, and then dress the individual servings as you eat them. You can store dressed Greek salad in the refrigerator but I'd suggest eating it within 1-2 days. Ingredient Substitutions
Spring mix. Use your favorite lettuce variety: romaine, baby spinach, baby lettuce, butter lettuce, etc. My favorite is spring mix.
Baby tomatoes. You can use any type of tomato in this recipe with great results.
Cucumber. I personally think cucumber is an important ingredient in Greek Salad, but you can omit or replace it if you would like. Some suggestions would be: carrots, bell pepper, and avocado.
Red Onion. I love the pop of color and bold flavor that red onion imparts in this recipe, however you can use any onion you prefer.
Kalamata olives. my love for kalamatas runs deep, especially in mediterranean cuisine. You can use any olive variety you choose.
Feta cheese. Another key component of a Greek salad in my opinion, however you could substitute goat cheese or your favorite cheese if desired.
Pita croutons. I love the addition of these pita croutons to this salad - however you can use regular croutons if you'd prefer. Or, you can make these crunchy roasted chickpeas instead of pita chips for a yummy, high-protein crunch.
