Renée Flott of Emporia, Kansas uses a zippy Dijon dressing to pull together the satisfying flavors in this Tex-Mex treat. My husband, Eric, loves it! she writes. We like to top these sandwiches with a bit of shredded cheddar cheese.
Ingredients:
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
1-1/2 cups canned red beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
1/2 cup diced zucchini
1/2 cup diced yellow summer squash
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
dijon dressing:
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 whole wheat pita 6 inches), halved
