- In a medium bowl, toss together the arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, the remaining half of the parsley, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and the juice of the remaining half of the lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Cut each pita into 4 wedges and drizzle with oil. Serve with the arugula and cherry tomato salad.
