Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber
- 2 medium-sized Tomato
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 cups Mixed greens or lettuce
- 1 cup Feta cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
Wash and dry all the vegetables.
Slice the cucumber and tomatoes into thin rounds.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make a simple dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and mixed greens with the dressing until evenly coated.
If using feta cheese, crumble it and set it aside.
Warm the pita bread in a skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side or in a microwave for 15-20 seconds, just until soft and pliable.
Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce onto each pita bread.
Layer the dressed vegetables evenly onto the pita along with a sprinkle of feta cheese (if using).
Fold the pita in half like a taco and serve immediately.
