Chana Dal in a Pita

---

Description:

This is an egg salad substitute. "We ate these last night and everyone had seconds," Holly Gates writes of her new recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chana dal—cooked
  
• 1 small yellow onion—diced
  
• 1 carrot—grated
  
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic—minced
  
• vinaigrette
  
• cream cheese or tofu
  
• olive oil
  
• pita bread or whole wheat sandwich bread
  

Preparation:

• Fry onions in olive oil until brownish in a non-stick pan. Add garlic for the last minute of cooking.

• Add carrot and onions to chana dal.

• Sprinkle on vinaigrette and stir.

• Cut pita in half, stuff with chana dal mixture and a blob of cream cheese.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve with chopped tomatoes (sautéed), cantaloupe and Mediterranean Salad.

Note:

Mediterranean Salad is Holly's green herb salad, served as a side dish. It consists of mint, cilantro, and parsley with optional feta cheese blobs and olive oil. Wash and chop coarsely.
