Tonight I taught a class on how to cook with summer fruits and vegetables. Sweet tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, bright green lettuce…the list of garden-fresh options goes on. I designed this salad to highlight those favorites. The creamy hummus vinaigrette offers a lemony bite and crispy pita acts as the perfect crunchy “crouton”.
This salad is vegan, but if you want to add feta cheese for added salty goodness, feel free!
1. Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Place tomato, cucumber, parsley, sundried tomato and greens in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over and toss to combine.
3. Transfer salad to a platter and top with pita chips.
