Greek Salad Pitas

Greek Salad Pitas from Ellie Krieger's So Easy. The pita bread I used started to fall apart. But the taste was really good. I'd make this again. It's pretty quick as well. Just make the sauce then assemble.



Spread
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz.)
3 tbs. nonfat plain yogurt (I used greek yogurt)
1 tbs. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Sandwich 
4 whole wheat pitas
4 large pieces of romaine lettuce, torn in halves
1 English cucumber, sliced in half moons
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
3/4 lb. thin sliced turkey breast

  1.  Combine the feta cheese and yogurt in a medium sized bowl. Mash with a fork. Add lemon juice, oregano, lemon zest, and pepper. Stir.
  2. Cut the pitas in half. Stuff each half with lettuce. Add the spread, then fill with cucumber, mint leaves, and turkey. Dividing the ingredients evenly among the pita pockets.
