Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pitas
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Chop the cucumber into small cubes, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and roughly chop the romaine lettuce.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, discarding stems.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, romaine lettuce, parsley, and mint. Toss to mix evenly.
To prepare the tahini sauce, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if the sauce is too thick.
Gently warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave for 1–2 minutes until soft and pliable.
Carefully slice each pita into halves to create pockets.
Fill each pita pocket with a generous portion of the salad mixture. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad for extra flavor.
Drizzle the tahini sauce inside the pita pockets over the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and healthy pita salad sandwiches!
