Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini and eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Cut the red bell pepper into large chunks.
Place the zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Grill the vegetables in batches for 3-5 minutes per side, or until charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.
Cut the pita bread into bite-sized pieces and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the pita on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side, or until crispy and lightly charred. Remove and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice to create a dressing.
Roughly chop the grilled vegetables and place them in a large salad bowl. Add the crispy pita pieces, crumbled feta cheese, and dukkah spice blend.
Chop the parsley and mint leaves, then sprinkle them over the salad.
Pour the lemon dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra dukkah if desired.
