How do you make this green salad and pita chips recipe?

(Full ingredient amounts and instructions available in the recipe card down below)

• 

• 

Slice each pita into eight triangles and lay them flat in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Brush the olive oil mixture over the each pita triangle.

I used a simple combination of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can change up the spices (and/or herbs) if you like. This makes a great snack on its own!

Bake at 400 degrees until golden-brown and crispy. Check frequently to make sure the pita chips don’t burn. Let it cool while you make the salad.

• 

• 

Chop the kale into small pieces and massage the kale with olive oil and salt (with your hands) for several minutes to evenly coat the kale (left photo).

This will give the kale a more tender texture that’s easier to chew.

Then top the massaged kale with freshly grated parmesan cheese and give it a light toss. I like to use Parmigiano-Reggiano, which has sharp and rich flavour (right photo).

To make the dressing, simply combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. To mix it together, I used a wired whisk, but a fork would work too.

The tangy combination of plain Greek yogurt with fresh minced garlic, lime juice, and spices (e.g. paprika and cumin) gives this easy, homemade dressing bright, tangy notes with a slight warming kick.

Place the salad into individual bowls and drizzle your desired amount of garlic lime dressing. Serve with the pita chips.
