    Here’s a tasty, healthy vegetarian pita sandwich that’s ready in 5 minutes. Cucumber, avocado, any other vegetables you’d like, and regular or whole wheat pita bread make this a satisfying lunch recipe. Let’s make ‘em.

    Veggie Pita Sandwich

    Why these cucumber pita sandwiches are so great

    • Make them in just 5 minutes.
    • They’re creamy – not dry at all!
    • Substitute any vegetables you have on hand.
    • Includes a video to help with assembly (scroll to bottom of page).

    Ingredients

    These are my favorite veggie pita sandwich fillings. Use them to inspire your own recipe.

    Infographic with ingredients and captions to make Cucumber Avocado Vegetarian Pita Sandwich
    • Pita bread (Greek style, not pita pockets, regular or whole wheat)
    • Creamy dressing (blue cheese dressing, feta dressing, ranch dressing, etc.)
    • Avocado
    • Onion
    • Carrot
    • Persian cucumber
    • Cilantro
    • Cheese (I often use provolone)
    • Lettuce leaves (my preference is red leaf or butter leaf lettuce)

    Tip – Turn this recipe into a vegan pita sandwich by swapping out the dairy ingredients. Try a vegan spread (like a tofu spread) or basil hummus and vegan cheese. Or, just drizzle a little olive oil, squeeze fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle a little salt and pepper to add flavor.

    FAQs

    How can I keep my pita pockets from breaking?

    If you are using a regular pita with pockets, and are having trouble with your pita pockets breaking, here’s an alternate way to create sandwiches. Rather than the standard halves, cut just the top quarter of your pita sandwich off, then slip that inside your pocket. The bottom will be reinforced, and, as an extra bonus, you’ll be able to slip even more of that delicious cucumber avocado filling inside!

    What kind of vegetables can I add to my pita sandwich?

    The sky is the limit, so roam your fridge to find some delicious pita sandwich fillings like sweet corn, halved cherry tomatoes and sliced bell peppers. Or make some sauteed onions and peppers or caramelized onions to load inside the pita bread layers.

    Can I add my favorite cheese to my cucumber avocado sandwich?

    Definitely! The more cheese the better is my general motto. Have fun experimenting with feta, blue cheese crumbles, slices of gouda or mozzarella — whatever you love.

    What should I serve with my cucumber avocado vegetarian pita sandwiches?

    These pretty healthy vegetarian pita sandwiches pair well with a chilled zucchini soup or strawberry feta salad.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
