Greek seasoning, feta cheese and dill-cucumber sauce give this gyro an authentic taste. It was my family's introduction to how really good pita bread can be. Instead of feta cheese, we'll sprinkle on cheddar or Monterey Jack if we have it. —Donna Garvin, Glens Falls, New York

To make your own salt-free Greek seasoning: Mix 1-1/2 tsp. dried oregano; 1 tsp. each dried mint and dried thyme; 1/2 tsp. each dried basil, dried marjoram and dried minced onion; and 1/4 tsp. dried minced garlic. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 6 months. Yield: about 2 Tbsp.
