INSTRUCTIONS
TAHINI SAUCE
PITA POCKETS
4 SERVINGS LACTO
Packed with antioxidants (sesame seed paste, tomatoes, spinach,
avocado), B vitamins (whole wheat pitas, spinach) and protein
(yogurt, tofu), these pitas will give your brain a midday boost.
Sauce: In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until blended.
Slice an edge from each pita bread and carefully open pockets. In
medium bowl, combine tofu, tomatoes and lettuce. Add 1/4 cup of sauce
and toss gently to mix. Spoon the mixture into each pocket. Divide
sprouts and avocado among the sandwiches. Drizzle each with 1
tablespoon of tahini sauce. Serve right away.
