Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked salmon or trout
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 120 grams Mixed salad greens
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the smoked salmon or trout into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and cut the rounds in half. Add them to the salad greens.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set aside about 1 teaspoon for garnish. Add the remaining dill to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic clove, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Cut each pita bread in half to create pockets. Gently open the pockets to make space for filling.
Stuff each pita pocket with a generous amount of the salad mixture and pieces of smoked salmon or trout.
Garnish the stuffed pita pockets with the reserved dill and serve immediately.
