Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400F/200C. Place the pita squares on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and a big pinch of salt, mix well, arrange in a single layer (don’t overlap), and bake for 7-10 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them, they will burn quickly. You might need to shake the baking sheet or turn the chips over so they can toast evenly. Set aside to cool completely.
Combine all the dressing ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to emulsify.
To the same bowl, add all the salad ingredients. Toss to combine.
When ready to serve, add the toasted pita chips to the top of the salad. You can also transfer to a serving platter if you prefer.

Notes

Start with ½ tsp salt for the dressing. You can always add more later to taste.
Feel free to adjust the amount of radicchio based on your preference.
This salad is best served fresh, but the components can be prepared ahead of time.
