1 container (6 ounces) plain, low-fat yogurt, liquid drained (if any)
-
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
-
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
-
Pinch salt and pepper
-
4 whole-wheat pitas
-
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, sliced

1/2 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
-
2 large plum tomatoes (about 1/2 pound), sliced

1 package (8 ounces) garlic-and-herb flavored feta cheese, crumbled
Directions
1.
To make sauce: Stir together yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
