Wendy's® Classic Greek Fresh Stuffed Pita




Here's a clone for another of Wendy's four Fresh Stuffed Pitas.



This Classic Greek Pita uses the same salad base and dressing



as last week's clone for the Chicken Caesar Pita, but replaces



the chicken and parmesan with a Greek topping that's very easy



to make. Even though Wendy's uses a special custom pita that can't



be bought in the stores, you can use the type that most people



tend to slice open and fill. You won't be filling any pockets in



this recipe (other than those in your pants with the money you save).



Instead, you just heat up the pita, and fill it like a soft taco.





Dressing



1/2 cup water



1/8 teaspoon dry, unflavored gelatin



1/3 cup white vinegar



1/2 cup olive oil



1/2 teaspoon finely minced red bell pepper



1/2 teaspoon salt



1/4 teaspoon garlic powder



1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce



1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper



dash parsley



dash oregano



dash thyme



dash basil



1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese



1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese



2 tablespoons egg substitute





1 cup (4-ounce package) crumbled feta cheese



1/2 cup tomato, seeded and diced



1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced and chopped



1/4 cup red onion, diced



6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped



1/4 cup red cabbage, shredded



1/4 cup carrot, shredded



4 pita breads





1. Make the dressing by first dissolving the gelatin in the water.



Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for two minutes or until



it begins to boil rapidly. Add the vinegar, then whisk while adding



the oil. Add bell pepper, salt, garlic powder, Worcestershire, black



pepper, parsley, oregano, thyme and basil. Let dressing cool for



about 15 minutes before adding cheeses and egg substitute. Whisk



until slightly thicker, then chill. Overnight refrigeration makes



the dressing thicker.



2. Make the Greek topping for the sandwiches by combining the crumbled



feta cheese, tomato, cucumber, and red onion in a small bowl.



3. Prepare the salad by combining the romaine lettuce, red cabbage



and shredded carrot in a large bowl and toss.



4. Prepare the sandwiches by first microwaving each pita for 20



seconds.



5. Fold each pita in half like a taco, then add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of



the romaine salad into the bread.



6. Add 1/2 to 1/3 cup of the greek topping to each sandwich.



7. Pour about a tablespoon of dressing over each sandwich and serve.
