"Avocado always draws this Icelandic carnivore to a recipe, even when it's vegetarian. Taste of Home seems to know my weakness & so does Linda Reeves of Cloverdale, Indiana who was credited for the recipe. Linda said "1 summer I worked at a health food store that sold sandwiches. We were close to a college campus, so I sold lots of these fresh-filled pitas to the students. Crunchy w/crisp veggies & nutty sunflower kernels, they're fast-to-fix & tasty when you're on the go." I'm personally not a big fan of sunflower seeds, so I'll use walnuts or pine nuts instead. Feel free to make chgs to suit your personal preferences & ENJOY!"
