Egg & Toasted Pita Salad with Cilantro Lemon Dressing Happy Sunday! The weather is getting very hot here in Philly and now salads and cold subs have become my best friends but for now, I’m sticking with salads.

Egg & Toasted Pita Salad with Cilantro Lemon Dressing

Have you ever tried toasted pita? It’s similar to toasted bread for salad but much more crispier. it’s used in most middle eastern salads because it gives the salad depth and goes great with any dressing.

For the dressing I made a homemade cilantro lemon dressing. Cilantro is like my hero.. seriously, it has a wow factor and is also unbelievably delicious when paired with lemon!
