I'm so excited to introduce you to salad sandwiches! To kick off this idea, let's start with a spring salad in a pita. I mean, if we love eating bread next to our salad, why not combine the two? This time of year, the leaves are so fresh and crunchy. I made a salad with a mustard-anchovy dressing, green goddess sauce spread inside the pita, and dark golden crispy breadcrumbs on top for an extra crunch factor. It's such a great bite and a fun idea for a seasonal meal on the go! This will work with any salad (just avoid a thin dressing, as it can tear the pita). You can use any crunchy leaves you have on hand!
