Mediterranean Vegetable Sandwiches image

A Mediterranean-Style Sandwich from the South Beach Diet's "Daily Dish" (Phase 2). The bright colors and flavors of this overstuffed sandwich reflect the sunny region it's named for. Soaking the onions in ice water tames the bite; try this technique for salads too. If you're on Phase 1, skip the pita and eat the filling as a salad.
