Recipe #13 - Mediterranean Salad

Very, very simple and very, very healthy. I served this as a side for Recipe #14 - Salmon Cakes. 

Combine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, onion, radishes & parsley in a salad bowl. 

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper & mint. Pour over salad & toss to coat. Serve immediately with warm pita halves.

The warm pita worked well for scooping. The 100% wheat was pretty tasty too!

I really liked the dressing. It had a hint of lemon and mint that went well with Lemon-Caper Yogurt Sauce that I served with the Salmon Cakes.
