From: Karen C.

Serving Size: 2
- 1 cup yellow squash, cut into -- 1/2" diagonal slices
- 1 red bell pepper -- cut into wedges
- 1 small onion -- cut into 8 wedges
- 2 cloves garlic -- thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato -- cut into 8 wedges
- 1/2 cup spinach leaves, torn into -- bite size pieces
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh chopped oregano or 1/2 tsp dried
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh chopped basil or 1/2 tsp dried
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup Creamy Herb Dressing (recipe follows)
- 2 to 4 pita pocket halves
Prepare and cut vegetables. Combine in a mixing bowl all of the above
ingredients except the tomatoes, spinach leaves, dressing, and pita
halves.
Toss vegetable mixture to lightly glaze the vegetables with olive
oil.
Spoon vegetable mixture onto a broiler pan or cookie sheet coated
with nonstick cooking spray. Broil 5 minutes, add tomatoes and spinach
leaves to vegetable mixture and stir. Baste with additional marinade
and broil for an additional 5 minutes or until vegetables are just
tender and lightly browned. Tomatoes and spinach should be just
warmed; if you prefer the tomato softer, add with vegetable mixture
at the beginning.
Prepare the Creamy Herb Dressing while vegetables are broiling.
Divide the vegetable mixture evenly between pita halves. Drizzle
with Creamy Herb Dressing. Serve.
