AVOCADO POCKET SANDWICHES 
1 avocado
1/2 c. chopped cucumber
1/2 c. chopped carrot
1/2 c. chopped cauliflower
1/2 c. sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 c. Italian dressing
4 pita breads
1 tsp. fresh lemon or lime juice
1/2 c. chopped tomato

Dice one half of the avocado, saving the other half for later. Toss the diced avocado, cucumber, carrot, cauliflower, mushrooms, and cheese with the Italian dressing. Slit the pita breads and separate them halfway around by pulling the edges apart to form a pocket. Fill each with one quarter of the mixture. Mash the remaining half of the avocado with a fork and stir in lemon juice; spoon inside each sandwich. Garnish with chopped tomato. Makes 4 servings.
