<br />
I used 3/4 cup cucumber and a small amount of chicken since I am trying to reduce the amount of meat and increase my veggies and I used spinach instead of lettuce. I also used a tortilla since I had them on hand instead of a pita.<br />
<br />
1/2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise<br />
1 teaspoon lime juice, preferably fresh squeezed<br />
1/2 teaspoon curry paste (I used 1tsp green paste and I think the red paste tastes bitter.)<br />
3/4 cup (4 oz) chopped grilled chicken breast<br />
11/2 tablespoons seeded chopped cucumber<br />
11/2 tablespoons chopped red onion<br />
1 whole-wheat pita (61/2" diameter), but in half<br />
2 leaves green leaf lettuce<br />
<br />
Makes 2 servings.<br />

The store bought does not even compare! I usually eat 1/4 cup with celery directly after my workout. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<br />
1 can chick peas (or 1/2 bag dried and double recipe)<br />
1/4 cup tahini (Found in the Asian section. It is ground sesame seeds)<br />
2 tsp fresh parsley<br />
1 (or more) clove garlic<br />
1/3 cup lemon juice<br />
1 1/2 tsp cumin<br />
1/4 tsp ground red pepper<br />
2 tsp chopped onion<br />
1 Tbsp soy sauce<br />
5-6 sprigs cilantro<br />
splash of olive oil<br />
<br />
Place all ingredients in food processor and process until smooth. Serve with veggies or pita bread.<br />
<br />
1/2 bag dry and recipe doubled makes approx. 7 cups and 1/4 cup has approx. 105 calories by my calculations.<br />
