Mediterranean Roast Beef Pita

These Mediterranean roast beef pitas offer a fresh and vibrant take on a high-protein lunch, perfect for busy weekdays or a nutritious weekend meal. The combination of lean, thinly sliced roast beef and salty feta provides a satisfying savoury base, while toasted pine nuts add a delicate crunch and nutty depth. It is a brilliant way to use deli cuts or leftover Sunday roast, transforming humble ingredients into a colourful, textured sandwich that feels much more indulgent than its healthy profile suggests.

Packed with shredded romaine lettuce, carrots and cucumber, this recipe ensures you get a good portion of your daily vegetables. The light, tangy dressing made with cider vinegar and low-fat mayonnaise brings all the elements together without the need for heavy oils. Serve these whole-wheat pockets immediately to enjoy the contrast between the soft bread and the crisp, garden-fresh filling.
