“I came across this Greek-style recipe many years ago. When I changed a couple of ingredients, I knew I had a tasty and good-for-you meal,” writes Didi Trowbridge of Wilkesport, Ontario.

1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

2/3 cup reduced-fat cucumber ranch salad dressing
1 teaspoon sugar
5 whole pita breads, warmed
2 cups chopped lettuce
1 cup chopped tomato
1 small cucumber, peeled and sliced
1 small red onion, sliced

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first six ingredients; add beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
In a small bowl, combine salad dressing and sugar; refrigerate until serving. Drain and discard marinade.
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute beef for 3-4 minutes or until no longer pink. Serve on pitas with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion; drizzle with dressing.

True, of course I can't think why you would want to add suger to a salad dressing.
