Ingredients

> Cooking spray
> 2 pita breads
> 1/4 tsp ground cumin
> 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
> 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
> 1 (15.5 oz) can reduced-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
> 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
> 1 small bunch parsley, finely chopped
> 1/2 cup store bought Greek vinaigrette

Steps

1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Coat paper with the cooking spray.
2
Cut each pita into 8 wedges. Arrange on prepared pan. Coat tops of pitas with cooking spray. Spread out in single layer. Sprinkle with the cumin and season with salt. Bake 7–8 min., until toasted and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool.
3
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the lettuce, tomatoes, chickpeas, onion, and parsley.
4
To bowl with salad, break pita chips into smaller pieces. Add the vinaigrette. Toss until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips

To mellow the bite of raw onion, soak in ice water for 10 min., then rinse and drain. Pat dry with paper towel before using.
