Steps:
- Place the following ingredients on whole-wheat or other multi-grain bread, inside whole-grain or white pita pockets, or roll in corn tortillas in the case of a wheat allergy. Dressings include fat free or light mayonnaise, fat free salad dressing, mustard, and lowfat buttermilk dressing. Salsa and fat free sour cream are excellent on white, wheat, and corn tortillas stuffed with sandwich filling. Chicken Sandwich-use 3 oz. skinless, broiled or baked white meat--go heavy on all the vegetables. Club Sandwich-one thin slice turkey, extra-lean ham, and extra-lean roast beef-add lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. Corned Beef Sandwich-use 1 slice extra-lean corned beef--add extra vegetables and enjoy. Ham 'n' Cheese Sandwich-buy extra-lean ham-be moderate with the meat and part-skim mozzarella cheese and extra heavy with the vegetables. Makes a great hot sandwich! (Serve with hot vegetable soup.) Pastrami Sandwich-just remember to go heavy on the vegetables and very light on the meat. (Use 4 extra-lean thin pastrami slices per sandwich.) Roast Beef 'n' Cheddar Sandwich-use two 1 oz. slices extra-lean luncheon meat beef slices-add vegetables of your choice after 1/4 cup grated cheddar is melted on top. Roast Beef Sandwich-use two 1 oz. slices extra-lean luncheon meat beef slices-add mild hot peppers, pickles, lettuce, and onions. Seafood 'n' Avocado Sandwich-mix real or imitation crab pieces with fat free mayonnaise and fat free salad dressing-half and half). Add 1/3 sliced avocado, sprouts, and tomatoes. (Avocados are high in "good" fat.) Tuna Salad Sandwich-mix 3 oz. tuna (in water, drained) with equal parts of fat free mayonnaise and fat free salad dressing-add green peppers, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, and chopped celery, if desired. Turkey 'n' Provolone Cheese Sandwich-use 4 oz. lean turkey breast-add pickles, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, sprouts, and 1 ounce Provolone cheese. Turkey Breast Sandwich-use 4 oz. lean turkey breast-skinless, broiled or baked-add pickles, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and green peppers. This sandwich tastes great with Cranberry Sandwich Spread. Fat free cream cheese is also very tasty.

- Spoon a scant tablespoon bean spread into toasted pitas. (Put remaining bean spread in an air-tight container.) Add avocado and cucumber slices, or other vegetables of choice and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

- In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients for dill yogurt sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Wrap a damp paper towel around the pita bread and microwave until just warmed (about 10 seconds per pita). This will make it more malleable and less likely to break.
- To assemble the sandwiches, layer about 2-3 tablespoons of the hummus, yogurt sauce, and tabbouleh, with some greens, tomato, and carrots, in that order, on each pita. Carefully wrap the pita around the ingredients. If it seems too messy or like it's going to break, wrap it in foil or parchment to keep it together.
