There’s something deeply satisfying about tearing into a warm, homemade pita — soft, pillowy, and just the right amount of chewy. Every time I make them, I wonder why I don’t more often.

Paired with a whipped feta dip that’s cool, lemony and light, it’s a summer dream… but then we take it one step further.

On top goes a bright, briny mediterranean mixture, all tossed in a delish dressing until it becomes the perfect salty-crunchy topping. It’s creamy meets crisp, warm meets cool — and somehow, ridiculously easy for how fancy it looks on the table.

If you like this, why not stay for some more ;)

Let’s get into it!!
