Veggie Pita

I went to the store to grab something quick for dinner. I was hoping I could just find something in the deli, but I was picking up dinner for 4, and the deli items just didn't cut it! I had been craving falafal in a warm pita all week. So I grabbed a bag of whole wheat pita bread, hummus, tomatoes, cucumber, sweet peppers, carrots, avocado, spinach, and this yummy green secret cilantro sauce. I decided that the falafel would take too long to cook, so raw veggies would have to do! Here are the steps for making them plus the secret cilantro sauce ingredients!

Wrap the pita bread in foil and place in the oven at low temp to warm while chopping the veggies. Dice the tomatoes, slice and quarter the cucumber, cut sweet peppers into thin strips, shred or peel the carrots so they are in nice thin shavings, and slice the avocado.

For the sauce: Vegan Mayo, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth... This can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge. I think this mayo tastes so good I'd put it on any sandwich in place of mayo, it was so good!

Slice the pitas in half, so there is a pocket. Spread hummus on the inside, then add all the fresh veggies, drizzle with secret sauce, and Enjoy!
