Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces low-carb pita bread
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives
- 0.75 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by prepping the vegetables: slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and then slice into thin half-moons. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Finely dice the red onion. Set these vegetables aside in a large mixing bowl.
Pit and slice the kalamata olives if they are whole. Add them to the vegetable mix.
Crumble the feta cheese and finely chop the fresh parsley. Add these to the vegetable mix and gently toss everything together.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable and cheese mixture, and toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
Gently warm the low-carb pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until just warmed through.
Cut a 1-inch opening along the edge of each pita bread. Carefully open each pita pocket and stuff with the prepared Mediterranean filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Mediterranean Stuffed Pita!
