whatever you want to put on Pita Bread with red pepper strips, Cherry Tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber (the baby pickling ones), Black Olives and you are ready to go. Add a cup of soup...and it's a great lunch.

For those with wheat bread problems...Pita Bread does the trick..and if you can find fresh backed from Middle Eastern Source...it's the best. Whole Foods has one...but, it's inconsistent to quality. Otherwise, grocery stores have an acceptable substitute for those who have some problems with most other breads which can contain High Fructose Corn Syrup and Wheat Gluten, etc....that causes us with sensitive systems to have some digestive problems.
