Healthy and filling sandwich! I couldnt find the wheat pita's so I used Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats. and Sabra Roasted Garlic Hummus.Without the pitas I didnt chop the spinach and romaine lettuce just laid them on the bread and added the veges. Will make this sandwich again! Made and reviewed for Kittencal's Recipe Tag Game.

This was a winning combination in many categories: taste, color, nutrition. I made my own hummus and used Arabian Pita Bread for pita. Fresh cucumbers and tomatoes from our garden; greens and scallions from the farmer's market. Served with a fresh seasonal fruit salad for a simple, delicious meal. If you want to get technical, this is in fact a vegan recipe.;) Reviewed for Ramadan Tag 2009.

This reminds me of salads I eat most nights, only incorporating it onto a pita and adding some hummus. I cut this recipe down for 1 and it's really filling:-) Followed every ingredient you had listed Mike..but I can see incorporating any type veggie into this sammy. This recipe is also reminescent of the Mediterrean veggie sandwich you get at Panera's. (they do there's on bread). Great lunch~ Made for PRMR.
