Ingredients

Scale

SALAD:

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

DRESSING:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

FOR SERVING:

  • 4 whole wheat pita pockets, halved
  • 2 cups chopped romaine or mixed greens

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, then sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Toss gently to combine and let sit for 5–10 minutes for flavors to meld.
  3. Carefully open each pita half to form a pocket and line with chopped romaine or mixed greens.
  4. Spoon the Greek salad mixture into each pita half, dividing evenly.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add grilled chicken, chickpeas, or quinoa for extra protein.
  • To keep pitas from tearing, warm slightly before filling.
  • Great for meal prep—store the salad and pita separately until ready to serve.
