CHICKEN TAHINI SALAD WITH PINE NUTS ON MINI PITA ROUNDS
If mini pita breads are unavailable in your area, split larger pita breads horizontally in half and cut out smaller pita rounds using a 3-inch-diameter biscuit cutter. You can streamline the process by preparing both the chicken salad and the toasted pita rounds one day in advance. Taken from professional-cooking.com for ZWT.
