Tips
If you can’t find light Asian salad dressing in stores or if you would prefer to make your own, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon honey. Use 2 tablespoons to “dress” the pita filling and store the rest in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
