Marinade/Meat
- the juice of 1/2 lemon
- about a handful of fresh oregano (finely chopped) - can use dried if fresh not available, but fresh is best.
- 5 cloves of garlic - minced finely
-1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp of salt & ½ tsp of black pepper
- about 1/2 cup of olive oil
2 pork tenderloins - fat trimmed off (you can also use chicken)
Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl & whisk together. Put the meat in a large ziplock & pour in the marinade. Marinate 2 largely cubed pork tenderloins (or chicken breasts) for AT LEAST 30 minutes. I like to do in the morning so it’s really flavorful by dinnertime. Skewer on kebobs and grill until golden & cooked through...turning often. It takes about 10-15 minutes on a hot grill.
Tzatziki Sauce
- 1/4 cup English cucumber - grated finely and squeezed as dry as possible
-1cup of plain Greek yogurt (If you can’t find Greek yogurt, use regular plain yogurt & strain thru cheesecloth for an hour or so - you just want it thick. I think even sour cream may substitute OK)
- 2 tbsp of lemon juice
- ½ tsp of salt
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
-the zest of 1 lemon
Just combine all ingredients and let the flavors meld. Great to do a day in advance.
Tomato Salad
- about 1/4 cup of diced cucumber
- 3 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded & chopped
- ¼ cup onion, thinly sliced
-a good squirt of lemon juice
-1 tsp koshersalt & 1/2 tsp black pepper
Combine all ingredients and toss. DONE!
All that is left to do is assemble everything! I use whole wheat pitas...get a skillet hot and spray each side of each pita with some cooking spray. Cook about 1-2 minutes on each side then layer on the meat, salad & sauce! It is really spectacular. I promise.

This sounds great! Where did you find the kabob baskets? I am experiencing envy!
I got them at Bed, Bath & Beyond. They were $9.99 for 4 of them. So worth the money. They rule!
