Everyday Greek Salad

My Everyday Greek Salad consists of chopped tender baby lettuces, sliced cucumber, red onion, cherry tomato halves, sweet pickled beets, chickpeas and greek olives. All of this is then topped with tender juicy chicken, lots of crumbled feta and homemade greek dressing! This recipe (generously) serves 1 but can easily be adjusted to serve more or less.

MAKE THE PITA CROUTONS:

Preheat your oven to 400° and spray a medium rimmed baking sheet with olive oil or extra light olive oil spray.
Cut pita into bite-size pieces and arrange in a single layer on the prepared pan. Lightly spray the pita pieces and season with salt.
