Description

This is my simplified version of a classic Greek salad served in pita pockets. A very fresh and delicious summer meal. Feel free to add any of your favorite toppings, like Kalamata or black olives, grilled chicken, peppers, etc. Omit feta for vegan/dairy-free option.

Ingredients

Scale

4–5 cups Taylor Farms Romaine Hearts , chopped into bite-sized pieces
1/2–1 whole English cucumber, cut in half lengthwise and sliced
1/2–1 whole pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 – 3/4 cup feta cheese, optional (use more or less to taste)
3–5 whole wheat pitas
oil and vinegar or Greek dressing (*my simple vinaigrette dressing recipe is below)

Instructions

Place chopped romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and feta into a large salad bowl. Top with a bit of dressing and toss to combine.
Slice pitas in half and carefully fill each pocket with a generous amount of salad. Top with extra dressing if needed. Best if eaten right away.
