Homemade tzatziki elevates this recipe from basic, good sandwich to basic, great sandwich, but if you’re in a hurry, store-bought will do the job.

Ingredients

Tzatziki:

  • ¾ cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ European cucumber, grated
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. dill
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • ⅛ tsp. salt
  • ⅛ tsp. pepper

Pita:

  • 4 (6") whole-wheat pita pockets
  • ½ cup hummus
  • 5 oz. mixed greens
  • 16 grape tomatoes, halved
  • ½ lb. cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • ¼ cup shredded light sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Mix all tzatziki ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors meld (1-2 hours).
  2. Slice pita pockets in half, and pull sides apart to create a pocket. Spread hummus in each and fill with greens and tomatoes.
  3. Mix chicken with tzatziki. Divide chicken-tzatziki mixture evenly between all pita halves. Top with shredded cheese.
