Dill Chicken Salad Pitas
With its blend of shredded cauliflower, crinkle-cut radish, red & green cabbage, green leaf lettuce, kale, dill pickle brioche croutons, and Creamy Dill Pickle Ranch Dressing, our Dill Pickle Chopped Salad Kit is all about cramming as much briny flavor as possible into one package. But if that’s not enough for you, you’ll love this recipe.
You’ll prepare the salad kit in one bowl, and in a separate bowl, you’ll be making a chunky chicken salad with cornichons (baby pickles). Then you’ll take the soft confines of a pillowy pita and stuff it with prepared Dill Pickle Salad, along with more tasty ingredients like chicken breast, apple, walnuts, and even some tiny little cornichons to up the pickle-factor even more. What’s not to love?

Pita Party, Anyone?
Typically made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, pitas are a type of round, pocketed flatbread originating from the Middle East. These delightful vessels are known for their soft texture and unique ability to be split open to form a pocket, making them incredibly versatile in the kitchen.
In addition to holding traditional Mediterranean fillings like falafel, hummus, and grilled meats, pitas can be creatively incorporated into many other dishes. For instance, try using pitas to make mini pizzas! Simply top split-open pitas with tomato sauce, cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings, then bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly for a quick and easy meal or snack.
Another inventive way to use pitas is to transform them into chips. Cut pitas into triangles, brush them with olive oil, sprinkle with seasoning, and bake until crispy for a healthier alternative to store-bought chips. Pitas can also be stuffed with scrambled eggs, vegetables, and cheese for a portable breakfast option or used as a base for layered dips like Greek tzatziki or Middle Eastern baba ganoush. We encourage you to experiment and see what you can whip up in the kitchen with these delicious little pockets of joy!
