Note

For a complete meal, add crumbled feta cheese or grilled chickpeas for extra protein.

If fresh pita is unavailable, you can use whole wheat wraps or small tortillas as a substitute.

Store leftover salad components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Toast the pita just before serving to maintain crispness.

Adjust the amount of garlic and mustard to suit your taste preference.
