3 red radishes, chopped

1/2 small seedless cucumber, peeled and chopped

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

1/4 C. (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

1/2 C. rinsed and drained canned chickpeas

1 T. tahini

3 T. fat-free plain yogurt

1/4 tsp. dried oregano

1/4 tsp. ground cumin

2 whole wheat pitas (6″ diameter)

4 medium romaine lettuce leaves

 

In a medium bowl, combine the radishes, cucumber, pepper, and onion. Mix in the cheese. In another bowl, use a fork to partially mash the chickpeas with the tahini, yogurt, oregano, and cumin. The mixture will be thick and coarse in texture. Slice open each pita by cutting off a piece about 1 1/2″ from the edge. Insert your hand to open the pocket. Cut off the bottom part of 2 lettuce leaves so when folded in half crosswise, they fit into the pitas. Gently line each pita with 1 leaf. Finely shred the remaining lettuce leaves and tuck 1/2 C. into each pita. Divide the chopped vegetables between the pitas. Dollop the chickpea mixture on top.
