Ingredients

• 150 grams Firm tofu
• 1 medium Apple
• 30 grams Raw almonds
• 2 pieces Pita bread
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or plant-based alternative)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the firm tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut it into small cubes.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the tofu cubes for 3-5 minutes until golden on the edges. Set them aside to cool.

Step 3

Chop the almonds into small pieces or roughly crush them with a knife or mortar and pestle.

Step 4

Core and dice the apple into small cubes. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

Step 5

In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt) with lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup if vegan), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a creamy dressing.

Step 6

Combine the tofu cubes, diced apple, and chopped almonds in a large mixing bowl. Add the yogurt dressing and gently toss everything to coat evenly.

Step 7

Cut each pita bread in half to form pockets. Gently open each pocket and fill with the tofu mixture. Be careful not to overstuff.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 9

Serve immediately or wrap the pita pockets in foil to enjoy later as an on-the-go snack or meal.
