What a great salad, and really a beautiful presentation as well. What is there not to love about this? Full of taste, flavor, and seasoned perfectly with the parsley, the mint, and lemon juice. Everyone loved this at the Saturday Lunch table, and the pita was a nice addition. Thank you Sarah! Made for ZWT6 Zee Zesties!
