WOW-this is just sooo tasty! I couldn't stay away from it.
Toasted Pita with Mint, Cucumber, and Tomato Salad
Put late-summer tomatoes to good use in this bright and herby salad. For even more color, leave the cucumber unpeeled--English cucumber skin is thin enough to be palatable. Make this dish close to serving time so it doesn't become watery.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 2/3 cup salad and 3 pita wedges)
