Recipe Introduction
Wendy's® Classic Greek Fresh Stuffed Pita
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. You won't be filling any pockets in this recipe
Instead, you just heat up the pita, and fill it like a soft taco.
List of Ingredients
Dressing
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon dry, unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely minced red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
dash parsley
dash oregano
dash thyme
dash basil
1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons egg substitute
1 cup (4-ounce package) crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup tomato, seeded and diced
1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced and chopped
1/4 cup red onion, diced
6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup red cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup carrot, shredded
4 pita breads
Recipe
1. 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 boil rapidly. 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.
2. Make the Greek topping for the sandwiches by combining the
crumbled feta cheese, tomato, cucumber, and red onion in a small
bowl.
3. Prepare the salad by combining the romaine lettuce, red cabbage
and shredded carrot in a large bowl and toss.
4. Prepare the sandwiches by first microwaving each pita for 20
seconds.
5. Fold each pita in half like a taco, then add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of
the romaine salad into the bread.
6. Add 1/2 to 1/3 cup of the greek topping to each sandwich.
7. Pour about a tablespoon of dressing over each sandwich and serve.
Serves 4.
