- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Cucumber, diced
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 100 grams Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped

- 100 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Begin by preheating a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Lightly grill the whole wheat pitta breads on both sides for about 1-2 minutes each, just until warm and slightly charred. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced red bell pepper, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, and thinly sliced red onion.
Add the chopped parsley and mint to the bowl, and toss all the vegetables together.
Drizzle the lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil over the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, then toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Cut each warmed pitta bread in half to form pockets, and gently open the insides to create space for filling.
Evenly distribute the vegetable filling into each pitta pocket, ensuring they are generously filled.
Top each pitta pocket with a spoonful of tzatziki sauce and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful Soy-Free Mediterranean Pitta Pockets.
