Lebanese Fatoush Salad image

Every year my garden is over grown with mint. I'm always looking for new ways to use my fresh garden herbs. This recipe uses fresh mint, parsley and cilantro and is one of our favorite side dishes during the summer. Traditionally, the pita bread is toasted until crisp, crushed by hand, and then sprinkled over the salad before serving. Cooking Light 1998
