Greek Pita Pockets

Here is a yummy and low-calorie recipe I found in a Weight Watchers magazine.  It is 5 points per half pita for those who are counting points!  I modified a few things on the recipe. The recipe says it serves 4 but that is only if you are trying to starve yourself!  We think it serves 2 (i.e. one whole pita per person)!

Ingredients
  • 2 diced plum tomato
  • 1 cup diced English cucumber
  • 2 thinly sliced scallions
  • 2 tbs chopped fresh dill
  • Juice of 1/4 small lemon
  • 2 6-inch whole wheat pitas, divided in half and toasted
  • 1/4 cup roasted red pepper hummus
  • 3 oz crumbled feta
Combine tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, dill, lemon juice and feta in a bowl.  Divide pitas in half and toast them.  Open pitas and spread with hummus and then stuff with tomato/cucumber mixture.
