Made this yesterday and took it for a picnic. I did put them separately (pita bread and the salad into a plastic container and assembled it all on the spot before eating). I used dill instead of parsley and added a little more mayo.
It was beyond delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by us all - 8 people said a big thank you for this recipe. Such a winner with kids too. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes Ramona - I am so keen to try your calamari recipe now 😉
