Greek Pita Sandwich

What could be simpler than stuffing a pita pocket? These delicious greek pita sandwiches are perfect for vegetarians. I recommend you take the filling in a sealed plastic container, and fill the pitas just at serving time. Otherwise you will have soggy sandwiches!

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh, finely chopped, italian parsley
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
to taste salt and fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
30 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 English cucumber, coarsely chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
3/4 cup pitted black olives, coarsely chopped
6 pita breads (preferably whole wheat)

In a small bowl, combine vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in the olive oil slowly until incorporated.

In another bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, cheese, and olives. Pour in the dressing and mix well to coat. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Pour in a sealed plastic container to take along to the picnic.

At serving time, carefully split each pita bread along the edge to open halfway. Stuff the pitas with the dressing using a large spoon.
