Ingredients

  • 3 pita bread 8" diameter
  • 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

  • 18 Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Figs chopped

USE LEFTOVERS FOR LUNCH:

Tear leftover pita crisps into crouton-sized bites and mix with apple fig salsa with greens and crumbled feta. Toss with your favorite greens such as spinach, arugula or kale and your favorite salad dressing—we like fig mustard vinaigrette.
