Dietician Tip

Pita bread is a hollow flatbread that is a staple in the Middle East as well as Mediterranean regions. It can be cut in half and filled with just about anything.

To make this plant based, leave out cheese.

Directions

Toast the pita bread halves in the toaster and open the pockets. Divide the lettuce, basil, tomato, onion and cheese, and layer between the 2 halves. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and freshly ground pepper. Serve.
