WITH YOGURT AND SALSA
Souvlaki is a Greek dish of meat or fish on skewers. Cooked under the broiler in about five minutes, the swordfish comes out firm and moist. Wrap it up in a pita and top it off with the yogurt mix and a light, fresh salsa. This is a satisfying, low calorie meal that tastes super fresh.
