How to Make Wendy's Classic Greek Fresh Stuffed Pita By Todd Wilbur

  1. **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 packet (1 tbsp) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. **Bloom the Gelatin:** Heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until it begins to boil rapidly and is completely dissolved. Stir gently to ensure no lumps remain.
  3. **Whisk in the Acids and Oil:** Add 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar to the warm gelatin mixture. Whisk constantly while slowly pouring in 1/2 cup of olive oil in a slow stream to create an emulsion.
  4. **Add Seasonings:** Stir in 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon dried basil.
  5. **Cool and Thicken:** Let the dressing cool completely for 15-20 minutes. Then, whisk in 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or substitute), and 2 large eggs (or 2 tablespoons of egg substitute).
  6. **Chill for Maximum Thickness:** Whisk the dressing until slightly thicker. For best results, chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  7. **Prepare the Greek Topping:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
  8. **Make the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 5 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1 cup shredded red cabbage, and 1/2 cup shredded carrots. Toss gently to combine.
  9. **Warm the Pitas:** Microwave each pita individually for 20 seconds to soften.
  10. **Assemble the Pitas:** Fold each pita in half like a taco. Fill each with 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the romaine lettuce salad.
  11. **Add the Greek Topping:** Top with 1/2 to 1/3 cup of the Greek topping.
  12. **Dress it Up:** Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the chilled dressing over each sandwich.
  13. **Serve Immediately:** Enjoy your homemade Wendy's-style Greek pita!
