Cut pita bread into 1 inch squares; carefully separate the two layers of the bread, so you are left with single layer squares; toss with olive oil and onion salt until evenly coated.
Toast pita in a large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, stirring and flipping constantly, keeping them in a single layer to toast evenly; remove and set aside.
Wash and chop tomatoes into bite-sized chunks; cut in halves or quarters; place in a large bowl.
Wash cucumbers; slice into bite-sized chunks, not peeling them unless using a regular cucumber. If using a regular cucumber, peel and de-seed it first.
Wash radishes and slice them; peel and slice the onions. Add the onions, radishes, cheese, and olives to the bowl, with fresh parsley and mint.
Whisk together dressing ingredients; adjust to taste. If preferring it less tangy, add more oil. Toss salad in just enough dressing to moisten.
Right before serving, garnish with the toasted pita chunks.
