Recipe: Greek Sandwiches with Cucumber Salad
A few weeks ago, we had lunch at the home of some wonderful friends. On the menu were yummy Greek Sandwiches on Naan bread with a cucumber salad, fresh watermelon and pie for dessert. We (my family) fell in love with the wonderful sandwiches and decided they needed to become a part of our meals on a regular basis.
Last week I made them, and was so excited to be using our grill for the first time in almost a year (see this post on my new grill parts). You will love this recipe and I'm sure it will become a favorite on your summer menu!
I served the sandwiches on naan bread, though you could use pita as well or even in a wrap. The cucumber salad could be eaten as a side, but we used it to top the sandwiches.
Recipes for both the marinade and dressing were found on Allrecipes.
To assemble sandwiches...grill the Naan bread till warm, spread with hummus, top with chicken and cucumber salad, devour!!! It is such a fresh and light tasting meal!
I'm linking this recipe to the following linky parties:
I get so many awesome menu ideas from these blogs. Take time to check them out this week.
