Sensational Souvlaki Salad aka Another Way to Eat a Gyro!

 A lot of people are trying to reduce carbs.  I'm always thinking of gluten free recipes.  This summer I took my son-in-law's yummy souvlaki recipe to another level. 

 I did have some pitas available for people who wanted them. So many amazing flavors come together in this Greek salad!
