Caesar Pockets
Here's a fast and easy lunch idea that is also great for summer picnics. Make a batch of Very Benevolent Caesar Salad Dressing (recipe in Dressings & Sides) and keep it in your refrigerator to make these delicious pocket sandwiches quickly.
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Ingredients
4 Cups
Romaine lettuce, chopped
1 Cup
Fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 Cup
Snow peas, halved
1/4 Cup
Roasted red peppers, sliced
1/4 Cup
Green onions, chopped
1/3 Cup
Very Benevolent Caesar Salad Dressing
2 Tbsp
Parmesan Cheese substitute
4
Whole wheat pita breads
Directions
1
Combine all the vegetables in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss well to mix. Sprinkle on the Parmesan Cheese Substitute (recipe in Salads & Sides) and toss again. Cut pita breads in half and stuff with the salad mixture.
Hints: I also like to add some Marinated Tofu to these pockets (recipe in Entrees). Just toss in a handful or so with the vegetables and mix well with the dressing. Or add about 3/4 cup canned garbanzo beans to the vegetables and mix with the dressing. Buy mushrooms pre-sliced to save time. Roasted red peppers are sold in jars in most supermarkets. Drain well and slice into bite-sized pieces. The Very Benevolent Caesar Salad Dressing will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
