Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium ripe pears diced
  • 1/2 cup celery thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup seedless red grapes halved
  • 2 tbsp walnuts finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/8 tsp poppy seeds
  • 20 miniature pita pocket halves
  • lettuce leaves

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the diced pears, celery, grapes, and walnuts. Gently toss these ingredients together to ensure an even distribution of flavors and textures.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon yogurt, mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of poppy seeds until well blended. This mixture will serve as a dressing.
  • Pour the prepared dressing over the pear mixture into a large bowl. Using a spatula or spoon, gently toss the ingredients together, ensuring that each component is evenly coated.
  • To allow the flavors to meld and intensify, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill for at least one hour, or for an even more enhanced taste experience, refrigerate overnight.
  • When you're ready to serve, carefully split the pita bread in half to create pockets. Line each pita half with a lettuce leaf, providing a refreshing base for the pear mixture.
  • Using a spoon, generously fill each lettuce-lined pita half with approximately two tablespoons of the chilled pear mixture. Ensure an even distribution of the pears, celery, grapes, and walnuts in each pocket.
  • Your Pear Waldorf Pitas are now ready to be savored. Serve them immediately, allowing the delightful combination of flavors and textures to shine through with each bite.
