• ¼ c. butter
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 small or 1 large pita
• Leaf or romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces

• Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

1. Preheat broiler to low.
2. In small bowl, cream butter with 1 of the cloves of crushed garlic until blended.
3. Split the pitas into rounds and spread the insides with garlic butter. Go right to the edges. Place on the broiler rack on a cookie sheet and toast until lightly browned. (Watch carefully). Turn off oven and leave the bread inside until it is dry and crisp enough to break into bite=sized pieces.

5. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, remaining garlic clove, mint, salt and pepper.
6. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. Add pita pieces and toss again. Taste to correct seasonings.
