We've given a twist to the traditional Greek salad, then tucked it into toasted pita bread to come up with a tasty lunchtime treat. Ingredients:
12 ounces small tomatoes, cored, halved, thinly sliced |
6 cups small spinach leaves, stems trimmed |
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced english hothouse cucumber |
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 4 ounces) |
1/3 cup coarsely chopped pitted black brine-cured olives (such as kalamata) |
16 large fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup olive oil |
5 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
4 5- to 6-inch-diameter pita bread rounds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Place tomato slices in strainer; drain 15 minutes. Combine tomatoes, spinach, cucumber, feta cheese, olives and basil in large bowl.
2. Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, 5 teaspoons lemon juice and minced garlic in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat.
3. Cut pita bread rounds in half crosswise. Divide salad mixture among 8 pita halves and serve.
