Рецепт Stuffed Veggie Pitas
Stuffed Veggie Pitas make the perfect lunch or light dinner...they are meatless and there is nothing to cook. They are stuffed to the brim with a mixture of carrots, cucumber, red pepper, red onion and avocado that is dressed in a light garlic sauce. Seriously, you'll want to find a few minutes to make these...they are so good!
I was inspired to re-create these after ordering a similar meal at a local restaurant recently. Although my version is not an exact replica, it is full of flavor and I enjoyed it just as much as the restaurant's version. I'm also, quite certain, my version packs far less calories than the one that inspired me.
This recipe makes enough filling for four pita halves. The veggies are so crunchy, which is a nice contrast to the soft and slightly sweet pita halves. I had this for lunch twice this week...because, yes, it's that good!! Seriously, with all the great veggies coming to harvest this time of year, why not give this one a try? You will be glad you did!
