Grilled Chicken Pita with Greek Salad

Okay - so my picture taking is not quite up to par just yet but I'm working on it!  However, don't let my terrible photography skills fool you, this lunch was AMAZING and so very simple to whip up.  

So I found the Greek Salad Recipe on Pinterest via The Pioneer Women's blog page.  I will try most anything that looks SUPER SIMPLE and takes minimal time.  She has some great pictures to along with the directions but I've included the recipe below for you for easy access.

Add chopped lettuce, tomato wedges, cucumber chunks, onion slices, halved Kalamata olives, half the feta, and parsley to a large bowl.

Combine olive oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped olives in a bowl. Whisk together until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings (I almost always add a little sugar.)

I stuffed my pita bread full of my awesome new favorite salad and topped it with some leftover grilled chicken we had in the fridge from the night before.  Then dropped some more salad on the plate for additional greens.  

One of my wonderful fitness friends introduced me to Joseph's Pita Bread a few years back and I can't get enough of it!  Best part is that the Net Carbs are only 5g!  Wow!  Yes please!  I will make sandwich's, roll up a banana with peanut butter and honey, toast and eat with breakfast, the list is unlimited!

Please disregard the "use by date" on this package!  When I find them I buy them in bulk and throw them in the freezer!  This package was one I recently taken out of the freezer - I'm getting low on my stash so I better stock up.  But anyway, where can you find these wonderful treats, I've found them at Walmart, Market Street and Kroger.  You have search for them at Walmart but I usually find them in the "specialty" bread area but when you find them, stock up because these babies go fast!

So, enjoy my friends!  I have many, many other recipes I can't wait to share with you all!
