2 pita breads, torn into 1-inch pieces
1 package (16 ounces) refrigerated diced potatoes (about 3 cups)

2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
2/3 cup (about 6 ounces) plain low fat yogurt
4 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
4 teaspoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1 clove garlic, crushed
Salt and pepper

Season to taste with salt and pepper. In large bowl, combine pita, potatoes, tomatoes and cucumber. Add dressing; toss lightly to coat. Place romaine in large serving bowl.
