Recipe Introduction
This traditional Mediterranean bread salad uses pita; experiment with leftover whole wheat, French or sourdough bread cut into cubes and toasted before tossing with the other ingredients.
List of Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 (7-inch) pitas
3 cups chopped tomato
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cucumber, peeled, quartered lengthwise and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 bottle (7 ounces) roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped Recipe
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large nonstick skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, combine the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pork, tossing well to coat. Let stand 5 minutes.
Arrange pitas in a single layer directly on oven rack. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes or until crisp; transfer to a wire rack.
While the pitas bake, add pork mixture to skillet; cook 5 minutes or until done, stirring frequently. Place pork mixture in a clean large serving bowl. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, tomato, onions, mint, vinegar, lemon juice, cucumber and peppers. Break the toasted pita bread into bite-size pieces. Add pita pieces to pork mixture; toss to combine.
