Grilled Pita Sandwich Ideas

Note: Grill extra veggies at dinnertime so you’ll have some on hand for sandwiches and salads. They will keep refrigerated in a tightly sealed container for up to a week. Get an adult's help with the part of this recipe that requires a food processor.

Prep time: 5 minutes
What you need:
  • ½ cup low-fat cream cheese or any other low-fat spreadable cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 3-4 cups leftover grilled veggies (we like carrots, eggplant, and zucchini)
  • 4 whole-wheat pitas
Equipment and supplies
  • Food processor
  • Butter knife (for spreading)
What to do:
  1. With an adult's help, place cream cheese and herbs into a food processor.
  2. Pulse until herbs are evenly distributed throughout cheese.
  3. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of herbed cream cheese onto the inside of each pita.
  4. Stuff each pita evenly with grilled veggies.
