NOTES
Makes about 6 servings of 1/2 pita each.
Per serving: 21 g carbohydrate; 11 g protein; 9 g total fat; equating to 209 calories.
This recipe is quite high in fat, with close to 40% (38.8%) of calories coming from fat. The fat content of this recipe can be substantially reduced by using light mayonnaise or light salad dressing and 1% cottage cheese. However, these light fat ingredients create a runnier filling.
For best results, prepare cottage cheese mixture just before serving. Cottage cheese mixture can also be used as a salad rather than a pita bread filling.
For a flavourful twist (and increased nutritional value), you can include a spoonful of Tabbouli Salad inside the pita pocket.
