Ingredients
  

4 small whole wheat pita breads

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and parsley. Gently toss these ingredients together until well mixed.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.

      Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss again to ensure everything is well coated with the dressing. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

        Prepare the Pitas: While the salad is resting, gently warm the pita breads in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.

          Assemble the Pita Pockets: Cut each warmed pita in half to create pockets. Carefully open each half and stuff it with the Greek salad mixture.

            Serve: Arrange the stuffed pita pockets on a serving platter. Serve immediately and enjoy!
