Total time: 15 min
Yield: 4 serving(s)
Ingredients: 4 piece whole wheat pita bread (large ones work best); 226.79 g soft tofu (I use extra firm silken and it is perfect); 236.59 ml fresh spinach leaves, torn into bite-sized pieces; 4 plum tomatoes, diced (I use quartered cherry tomatoes); 1 large avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into thin wedges; 236.59 ml mixed sprouts (I like mung bean sprouts, for the crunch); 236.59 ml low-fat yogurt or 236.59 ml nonfat plain yogurt; 29.58 ml tahini (I like a little extra); 4.92 ml lemon juice; 1 small garlic clove, crushed; salt, to taste

"Definitely health food. I think it is quite tasty, but if you are not used to such light, vegetarian fare, you may not like it. From a Joyva tahini ad."

I used firm, regular tofu, marinated in recipe #55536 overnight (deeelicious!). Since I don't like avocado that stayed out. It was great with cherry tomatoes, lentil sprouts and soy yogurt. Thanks for a delicious, light lunch I'll surely make again!
