Place the pita in a preheated and oven and cook in a very low temperature for 8-10 minutes until dried but not burnt. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
In a small bowl mix the lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper and olive oil.
In a large salad bowl place the lettuce, tomato, pepper, corn, ham, the olives, and parmesan. Toss the salad to mix and add the dressing. Toss again all ingredients together until the dressing combines well.
As soon as the pita is cooled down, break it into small pieces with your hands.
Serve the salad in individual bowls and just before serving, springle with some pieces of pita on the top. Enjoy!
