This is what happens when a BLT meets a garden salad inside a pita pocket. It’s fast, it’s fresh, and it’s lunch in 10 minutes flat.

Crispy bacon pieces get tossed with torn romaine, quartered cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, and scallions. Spread some creamy ranch inside the pita, stuff it full, and you’re done.

It’s crunchy, smoky, and cool all at once. Pack it for lunch, serve it for a quick dinner, or set out a build-your-own pita bar and let everyone go to town.

Chef Tips

  • Cook the bacon ahead of time and keep it in the fridge so assembly is lightning fast
  • Pat the vegetables dry so the pita doesn’t get soggy
  • Swap ranch for a Greek yogurt dressing to lighten things up
  • Add avocado slices or a sprinkle of feta for an extra layer of flavor
