Roasted Tomato Fattoush
This middle-eastern inspired salad pairs ripe summer vegetables with homemade pita chips for extra crunch. With a touch of richness from creamy feta and salty kalamata olives, this salad makes an easy side dish or a light standalone meal. And it's a perfect way to use up leftover herbs--while we used parsley, mint, and basil, whatever you have on hand will do!
