INSTRUCTIONS
1998 Top Secret Recipes version of 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. 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 rapidly boil. 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. Make the Greek topping for the sandwiches by combining the crumbled feta cheese, tomato, cucumber, and red onion in a small bowl. Prepare the salad by combining the romaine lettuce, red cabbage and shredded carrot in a large bowl and toss. Prepare the sandwiches by first microwaving each pita for 20 seconds. Fold each pita in half like a taco, then add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the romaine salad into the bread. Add 1/2 to 1/3 cup of the greek topping to each sandwich. Pour about a tablespoon of dressing over each sandwich and serve. Serves 4. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com) Posted to recipelu-digest by Sandy <sandysno@pctech.net> on Mar 18,
