Instructions: Serves 4 or 8.

Makes a good accompaniment to soup.

Dice half the avocado. Reserve other half.

Gently toss diced avocado, cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, mushrooms and cheese with the zesty Italian dressing.

To serve: 1) Halve each pita bread and fill halves, or 2) slit along edge and separate halfway around by pulling edges apart to form a pocket. Fill with a portion of the mixture.

Mash the remaining avocado half and combine with lemon juice and diced tomato. Add peel and herb, if using. Spoon some into each pocket.

VARIATION: 1) Mash the avocado as directed but add 1/2 cup plain or lemon lowfat yogurt. 2) Wrap in a flavored flour tortilla.
