Harissa is a spicy Middle Eastern condiment flavored with cumin, caraway, and chiles. In this dish, its flavors are deconstructed in a mildly spicy and sweet dressing. Ancho chile powder or crushed red pepper flakes may be substituted for the Aleppo pepper.

Preparation
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Liberally brush the pita rounds with oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until the pitas are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (The pitas can made up to 24 hours ahead and stored in an airtight container.)
In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, arugula, peppers, and mint or dill. Toss with half of the vinaigrette. Break the toasted pita into bite-size shards, add to the salad, and toss gently with the remaining vinaigrette and goat cheese. Serve immediately.
This is a delicious salad. The dressing was wonderful and easy to make. I used mint from my garden and really enjoyed the mint and arugula combination. It was a very rich salad and next time I will use less dressing and cheese.

This was really good - I went lighter on the number of pita chips, and also used Trader Joe's sweet and spicy red peppers instead of regular peppers. It had a wonderful mix of spices, refreshing, meatiness from the chickpeas, and crunchiness from the chips. Next time I'm going to bake the pita chips myself, I think they will be better in texture for a salad than the ones I bought.
This quick take on eggs Benedict eschews Hollandaise sauce and ham in favor of tangy beurre blanc and fresh asparagus. It takes slightly more than 10 minutes, but it looks…
