Directions

Makes 4 servings. Travelers who visit Turkey in the autumn enjoy delicious vegetables and melons. This salad-stuffed pita is reminiscent of the flat-bread sandwiches we once made there. Buy good-quality plain green olives at a Middle Eastern food store, if you can. Combine the beans, tomatoes, cucumber and onion in a medium bowl. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, olives, parsley and pepper in a small bowl. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss to combine. To assemble sandwiches, open pita bread halves and line with some of the lettuce or spinach. Spoon bean mixture into pita bread. Serve with grapes, slices of fresh melon and mint sprigs.
