1

Toss lettuce, beef, tomatoes and dressing.
2

Spoon mixture evenly into pita bread halves. Top with onion. Serve immediately or wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until serving or up to 1 hour.

Cubed cooked turkey or smoked turkey from the deli can be used instead of the beef.

Halved cherry tomatoes can be used instead of the roma variety.
For a terrific salad, omit the pita breads and toss the remaining ingredients together. You can also spoon the mixture onto flour tortillas and roll up.
