Ingredients
- 8 large eggs

- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- 4 whole wheat pitas, 4-inch size

Preparation
- Cover the eggs with water in medium saucepan. Once the water is boiling, cover and turn the heat off.

- Chill at least one hour in the refrigerator before serving.
- Cut pitas in half and place 1/3 cup egg salad and 1/2 lettuce leaf in each pita half.
Helpful hints
- For additional protein, Greek yogurt may be used in place of sour cream.
- If fresh dill weed is unavailable substitute with 1 teaspoon dried dill weed.
- If small pitas are not available serve with 1/2 of a large (6-1/2-inch) pita.
- Serve on a lettuce leaf or with 6 low sodium crackers instead of pita if desired.
- Keep this salad cold in an insulated bag if transporting to eat away from home.
