Pita bread is a hollow flatbread. It is a staple in the Middle East as well as in Mediterranean regions. It can be cut in half and filled with just about anything.

Directions

Toast the pita bread halves and open the pockets.

Divide the lettuce, basil, tomato, onion and cheese between the 2 halves. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and freshly ground pepper.
