I love tahini sauce and pita sandwiches! I adapted this recipe slightly from one I found in Vegetarian Times.
SERVES 4 , 4 pita sandwiches
Ingredients
Tahini Sauce
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt or nonfat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- salt, to taste
Pita Pockets
- 4 large whole wheat pita bread
- 8 ounces feta cheese
- 4 tomatoes, plum, ripe and diced
- 1 cup spinach leaves, fresh and torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup alfalfa sprout
- 1 large avocado, ripe, halved, pitted, peeled and cut into wedges
- 1 cucumber, diced
Directions
1
In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until blended.2
Slice an edge from each pita bread, and carefully open pockets.3
In a medium bowl, combine feta, tomatoes, and spinach. Add 1/4 cup of sauce, and toss gently to mix. Spoon the mixture into each pocket.4
Divide sprouts, cucumber, and avocado among the sandwiches. Drizzle each with about 1 Tbsp of tahini sauce.5
Serve right away.

This was a delicious lunch and very filling, Little Miss and I ate this up before we left to go to town and it was so filling that we didn't need to pick up a snack. I really enjoyed the Tahini sauce. Thank you Enjolinfam - Made for Zaar World Tour 4

Ummmm, this was good! The tahini sauce and avocado added a nice, creamy touch to the crunchy vegetables and salty feta. Don't let the ingredients fool you, it is actually quite filling! Loved this one! Viva los Jefes!
