Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the pita breads on a cutting board. Cut around the outer edge of each pita bread to separate the top and bottom layers. Cut the 4 thin pita circles into triangles.

- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the pita chips cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, add lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Using a wire whisk, mix well.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, chickpeas, feta cheese, and parsley.
