Ingredients

FOR THE SAUCE:
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup peeled seedless cucumber, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon minced red onion
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 large globe eggplant, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
2 medium summer squash, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
1 head Romaine lettuce, cut in half lengthwise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

4 rounds whole-wheat pita bread

Directions:

TO MAKE THE SAUCE: In a large bowl whisk together the sauce ingredients.

Brush or spray the eggplant, squash, and lettuce with the olive oil. Grill over Direct Medium heat, turning once halfway through grilling time. The eggplant will take 8 to 10 minutes and the squash will take 6 to 8 minutes. The lettuce will take 3 to 5 minutes grill it just until wilted. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper as you remove them from the grill. Coarsely chop the vegetables, place them in a bowl, and stir to combine.

Grill the pita pockets over Direct Medium heat until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds, turning once halfway through grilling time. Fill the pockets with the vegetables, spooning a little sauce on top. Serve warm.
