Name: Mediterranean Pita Pocket Sandwiches Recipe
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 2 large whole wheat pita pockets (I used Joseph's large 120 calories each. The calculator wouldn't let me choose that so I did the best I could); ~ 3 cups romaine lettuce shredded; 2 plum tomatoes chopped; 1 ear sweet corn with kernels removed; thinly sliced red onion to taste. (I used about half of a very small onion for two sandwiches); 1/2 cup chopped cucumber with peel; several sprigs of fresh cilantro chopped; ~ 1/2 cup feta cheese (I used a brand with 180 calories per half cup which is low versus the calorie counter here); drizzle of olive oil (~ 1/2 tablespoon)
