For the Garlic-Herb Yogurt Sauce:

Assemble the Pitas:
2. Warm the pita pockets in a toaster, oven, or microwave until soft and pliable. Slice them open halfway to create a pocket.
3. Spread a generous spoonful of the garlic-herb yogurt sauce inside each pita pocket.
Layer the Fillings:
4. Stuff each pita with a handful of mixed greens, followed by slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion (if using).
5. Tuck in the crispy bacon pieces and drizzle with a little extra yogurt sauce if desired.
Serve and Enjoy:
