Pittas are convenient for simple snacks and packed lunches and it's easy to pack in lots of fresh healthy ingredients.
ingredients
serves 4
1/4 red cabbage, finely shredded
1 small red onion, finely sliced
2 radishes, thinly sliced
1 red apple, peeled, cored and grated
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp low fat fromage frais
1 cooked chicken breast without skin, about 6 ounce
4 large pittas or 8 small pittas
salt and black pepper
chopped fresh parsley, to garnish
method
1. Remove the tough central spine from the cabbage leaves, then finely shred the leaves using a large sharp knife. Place the shredded cabbage in a bowl and stir in the onion, radishes, apple and lemon juice.
2. Stir the fromage frais into the shredded cabbage mixture and season well with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the cooked chicken breast and stir into the shredded cabbage mixture until well coated in fromage frais.
3. Warm the pittas under a hot grill, then split them along one edge using a round-bladed knife. Spoon the filling into the pittas, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

If the filled pittas need to be made more than an hour in advance, line the pitta breads with crisp lettuce leaves before adding the filling.
