LIGHT LUNCH - PITA - QUICK!!

[Juicygirl]

Per Sandwich using 1 small Pita bread – 228 calories, 11g protein, 1g fat, 47g carbs

This doesn’t just make ONE pita. You can estimate how much of each ingredient you wish to chop up and add to as many pitas as you like!! J

INGREDIENTS:

Pita Bread
Chopped hard boiled egg whites
Celery
Cucumber
Dill Pickles (spears work nicely, or you can opt for the sandwich slices. Your choice!)
Green, red, or yellow sweet pepper (I opted to use the yellow. Added pizzazz)
Lettuce (Romaine is more nutritional than iceberg)
Red or green cabbage (again, red will add some color)
Tomato
Coriander
Fresh Parsley and coriander to garnish (garnishing is optional)

***Make sure Veggies are grated or finely chopped so they will fit in the pita)
You can add some fiber veggies that I have listed in this forum if the above ingredients aren’t enough for you. J

PREPERATION:

1. Fill each pita bread generously with an assortment of grated vegetables lightly moistened with dressing (AGAIN, I have posted a whole post dedicated to delicious, easy homemade dressings – I recommend using the SESAME SALAD DRESSING – see post “dressings”)
2. Arrange decoratively, alternating colors, and garnish with parsley or coriander (if you opted to garnish). Serve with soup, salad, or a veggie dish for lunch or a light dinner. OR, alone as a snack!!

PREP TIME – about 30 minutes (this is just for the cutting of the veggies really. Took me about 4 minutes for each pita to prepare.
