Ingredients

  • 150g firm white cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp low-fat natural yoghurt
  • 4 wholemeal pitta breads
  • 4 slices lean roast ham
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 2 handfuls cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ of a cucumber, sliced

Directions

1

Mix together the cabbage, carrot and spring onions. Add the yoghurt and stir together. Season with black pepper.

2

Warm the pittas in a toaster or under the grill. Split them open and stuff each one with a slice of ham and the coleslaw. Information: For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add 40g reduced-fat hard cheese to the coleslaw, either grated or cut into tiny cubes.

3

Serve each pitta with cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Information: Another time, use skinless roast turkey or chicken instead of ham.
