A refreshing and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired chickpea salad, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Preheat your oven's grill setting.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even toasting.
Cut each pita bread into 8 wedges.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Place the pita wedges on a baking sheet and grill for 1-2 minutes until crispy.
Keep an eye on the pita to prevent burning.
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Whisk thoroughly to emulsify the dressing.
Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, green onions, walnuts, and both fresh and dried mint to the bowl.
Gently toss to coat all ingredients with the dressing.
Place two lettuce leaves in each serving bowl.
Use fresh, crisp lettuce for the best presentation.
Divide the salad mixture evenly among the bowls.
Ensure each bowl gets a variety of ingredients.
Sprinkle the salad with crumbled feta cheese.
Add the cheese just before serving to keep it fresh.
Serve the salad with the crispy pita wedges on the side.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
