Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 2
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Ingredients: 4 large pita breads; 1 tbsp olive oil (for warming pitas); 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced or diced; 2 ripe medium tomatoes, sliced or chopped; ½ red onion, thinly sliced or finely diced; ½ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional); 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for dressing); 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice; ½ tsp dried oregano; Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Wash and prepare all vegetables: thinly slice cucumber and tomatoes. Thinly slice or finely dice the red onion. Chop fresh parsley if using.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Set aside.
3
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly brush one side of each pita bread with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place seasoned pita, oiled side down, onto the hot surface. Warm for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, until soft and slightly puffed. Repeat with remaining pitas.
4
Carefully cut each warm pita bread in half to create a pocket. Gently open each pocket.
5
Fill each pita pocket generously with the prepared cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Add fresh parsley if desired.
6
Drizzle a small amount of the prepared dressing into each filled pita pocket, or simply a splash of olive oil and lemon juice.
7
Serve your two pita sandwiches immediately on a plate and enjoy the fresh flavors.

💡 Notes

For a milder onion flavor, soak sliced red onions in cold water for 10-15 minutes before draining and adding to the sandwiches. Feel free to add protein like grilled chicken or hummus for a heartier meal. Best enjoyed fresh.
