Do not confuse extra-virgin olive oil with "pure" olive oil, which is an inferior grade. Never substitute pure olive oil for extra-virgin olive oil in a recipe.

1/2 cup chopped romaine lettuce
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped ripe olives
2 tablespoons chopped, jarred, roasted red peppers
4 teaspoons low-fat dressing with olive oil
2 whole-wheat pita pockets, cut in half

Procedure

In a small bowl, combine lettuce, cheese, olives, peppers and dressing. Mix well. Spoon into pita halves. Makes 2 servings.
