  • 2 pita breads, torn into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 package (16 ounces) refrigerated diced potatoes (about 3 cups)

Dressing:

  • 2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2/3 cup (about 6 ounces) plain low fat yogurt
  • 4 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
  • 4 teaspoons chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • Salt and pepper
