I clipped this recipe from a magazine a few years ago and finally tried it. My very picky DD liked this dish . It would be good for brown bag lunches. Just pack the salad mixture into a separate sealed container and fill your pitas when you're ready to eat.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, drained (and rinsed)
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 cup cucumber, chopped
1 cup swiss cheese, diced (or cheddar, mozzarella, feta, etc) or soy cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper
3 pita breads, cut in half

Directions

1
In a bowl, combine all ingredients, tossing to mix everything evenly.
2
Spoon into pita pockets.
3
For Vegan use the soy cheese option.

I made this the night before and took it to work the next day. It was pretty good, although I made the mistake of using a lemon flvoured cheddar (leftover from my Christmas cheeseboard) and the lemon flavour proved to be a little over-powering. I will try it again using a milder cheese. Thanks Dreamer for this easy-to-make recipe. I think it'll come in very handy whenever I run out of sandwich meat!

One tomato was enough. I used cheddar cheese in mine. I used a bit less of 2 tbp of olive oil. I used lemon juice. Thanks for this healthy recipe, perfect for lunch. Made for 123 hit wonders

This was a great lunch!! Made this for PAC 2007 - only changes I made was to add some red bell peppers and use tortillas instead of pita breads! Thanks Dreamer!
