Recipe Introduction

Even though Wendy's uses a special custom pita that can't be bought in the stores, you can use the type that most people tend to slice open and fill. Instead, you just heat up the pita, and fill it like a soft taco.

List of Ingredients

-----DRESSING-----
1/2 c Water
1/8 ts Dry unflavored gelatin
1/3 c White vinegar
1/2 c Olive oil
1/2 ts Finely minced red bell pepper
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Garlic powder
1/4 ts Worcestershire sauce
1/8 ts Coarse ground black pepper
1 d Parsley
1 d Oregano
1 d Thyme
1 d Basil
1 tb Grated Romano cheese
1 tb Grated Parmesan cheese
2 tb Egg substitute

-----PITA-----
1 c (4-ounce package) crumbled feta cheese
1/2 c Tomato seeded and diced
1/4 c Cucumber thinly sliced and chopped
1/4 c Red onion diced
6 c Romaine lettuce chopped
1/4 c Red cabbage shredded
1/4 c Carrot shredded
4 Pita breads


Recipe

Make the dressing by first dissolving the gelatin in the water. Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for two minutes or until it begins to rapidly boil. Add the vinegar, then whisk while adding the oil. Add bell pepper, salt, garlic powder, worcestershire, black pepper, parsley, oregano, thyme and basil. Let dressing cool for about 15 minutes before adding cheeses and egg substitute. Whisk until slightly thicker, then chill. Overnight refrigeration makes the dressing thicker.

Make the Greek topping for the sandwiches by combining the crumbled feta cheese, tomato, cucumber, and red onion in a small bowl. Prepare the salad by combining the romaine lettuce, red cabbage and shredded carrot in a large bowl and toss.

Prepare the sandwiches by first microwaving each pita for 20 seconds. Fold each pita in half like a taco, then add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the romaine salad into the bread. Add 1/2 to 1/3 cup of the greek topping to each sandwich. Pour about a tablespoon of dressing over each sandwich and serve. Serves 4.
