caesar pitas

this week i tried a new, simple recipe i found in my recent food & family magazine. it was fantastic! it was so fresh and had an awesome flavor. even if you're not a huge caesar dressing fan, i still think you'd like this (or you can substitute with ranch dressing). the recipe calls for roasted red peppers, but i used fresh ones and it was yummy. we had leftover pitas after the initial batch of filling was gone, so i got more turkey and romaine and added tomatoes instead of the peppers...just as yummy!! i think this will be one of our favorite spring/summer lunches. i served it with some apple slaw and like i said, it was fresh, flavorful, and tasty!

4 cups torn romaine lettuce
6 oz deli smoked turkey breast
1/4 cup roasted red peppers
3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup classic caesar dressing
4 pita breads, warmed, cut in half
toss lettuce with turkey, peppers, cheese, and dressing. spoon into warm pitas.
