Pita Salad Sandwiches With Tahini Sauce

Enjolinfam's Note:

I love tahini sauce and pita sandwiches! I adapted this recipe slightly from one I found in Vegetarian Times.

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 4.0 pita sa ...

Tahini Sauce

• 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt or 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• salt, to taste

Pita Pockets

• 4 large whole wheat pita bread
• 8 ounces feta cheese
• 4 tomatoes, plum, ripe and diced
• 1 cup spinach leaves, fresh and torn into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup alfalfa sprout
• 1 large avocado, ripe, halved, pitted, peeled and cut into wedges
• 1 cucumber, diced

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until blended.
2. Slice an edge from each pita bread, and carefully open pockets.
3. In a medium bowl, combine feta, tomatoes, and spinach. Add 1/4 cup of sauce, and toss gently to mix. Spoon the mixture into each pocket.
4. Divide sprouts, cucumber, and avocado among the sandwiches. Drizzle each with about 1 Tbsp of tahini sauce.
5. Serve right away.

These were great and very flavourful. I did add some lamb kofta and meatballs I'd also made and the family loved them. Super-healthy too.

I am always looking for healthy items for a lunch meal. I found this recipe good. I think I want to play with the tahini sauce till I get it to my liking. I also found I was shoving way to much into the pita. But otherwise this was a good meal in place of a sandwich. And I liked I was using only vegetables and healthy stuff. You can't beat that.
