Greek Salad Pitas

Vegetarian Times Issue: April 1, 2005   p.38

30 minutes or fewer     

 

To pack this for lunch, wrap the pita pockets separately, and fill them with the salad just before serving. Or enjoy the chopped salad on its own with a bowl of soup for dinner. Note: Pepperoncini are thin, small pickled chile peppers that range in spiciness from medium to medium-hot. Look for them in the Italian section of large supermarkets.     

Directions

  1. Combine cucumber, bell pepper, zucchini, feta, onion, pepperoncini, olives, oil, lemon juice, vinegar and oregano in large bowl, and toss to mix. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Line each pita half with a lettuce leaf; fill with 1/2 cup salad mixture.
