Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium-sized Red onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.75 cup Feta cheese
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them soft and pliable. Set aside.
Chop the cucumber into small cubes, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and roughly chop the Kalamata olives. Place all the vegetables in a large bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the bowl along with the chopped romaine lettuce. Toss everything gently to combine the salad mixture.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the tangy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
Carefully open each pita bread and fill it with the dressed salad mixture. Distribute the filling equally among the 4 pita breads.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek Salad Pita Sandwich!
