Yields:

4 Sandwiches

Ingredients:

6 oz sliced mushrooms (I use the 100% Vitamin D enriched Mushrooms)
1/4 medium red onion, sliced or chopped
1/4 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 whole grain pita pockets
Handful of fresh spinach leaves
1 Tbsp olive oil

Directions:

1. Drizzle your olive oil in a cold skillet and heat it to medium, saute the garlic for about a minute, then toss in the mushrooms.  Saute them until soft and brown, about 8 minutes
2. Take your whole grain pita and open it up gently, stuff in some of your spinach leaves (*you can gently wilt the spinach with the mushrooms and garlic if you’d like)
3. Layer in some of your cucumber slices and then spoon in  your mushrooms and garlic, top with chopped red onions

** Some other delicious options, drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette or top with chipotle mayo
