1 small garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon honey

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 heads hearts of romaine, chopped (about 12 cups)

1 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained

1 small yellow bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)

1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

1 cup chopped cucumber

1/2 small red onion, chopped

1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives

1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

2 whole-wheat pitas, toasted and halved

Directions:

1. Whisk together the first 5 ingredients (through black pepper) in a bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil until well-combined.
