I made this for my boyfriend and myself. He was not thrilled about eating it until he took a bite. It was very taste and refreshing. We will definitely make it again.

My husband and I are big fans of Greek food, as well as healthy cooking. This was just amazing! We made them open-faced, because the pitas were small. I also used a Bermuda onion, and sauteed it in cooking spray (instead of the purple onion!). SOOO GOOD!
