Cool.", "Slice the lettuce (your choice, but don't use really soft lettuce such as butter lettuce).", "Halve the small tomatoes.", "Cut the cucumber into thick rounds, and cut the rounds into 4 cubes each.", "Chop the parsley and measure roughly. If Zaar allowed it, I'd have said ""just chop enough for a handful"".", "Ditto, the mint.", "Quarter the radishes and slice the spring onions, green and white parts included.", "Place all the prepared vegetables in a bowl.", "Cut the pita breads into bite-sized pieces, and add.", "Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing until well mixed.", "If you wish, season the salad ingredients with salt and pepper.", "Sprinkle the dressing over the salad and toss well.
