It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

How to choose the right pita bread? First of all, look at the date of manufacture on the package. Do not take expired pastries. Fresh pita bread should have a pleasant smell. Take a good look so that there are no stains and signs of mold on it.

How to buy crab sticks correctly? Be sure to pay attention to the expiration date of the product. Surimi meat (minced white fish) should appear in the list of ingredients in the first place. Important! Do not buy the product if there is frost on it. This is a sign of repeated freezing. Fresh sticks should be free of gray and yellow spots, elastic and slightly moist. If the product is sticky, it means it is spoiled.

Pita bread rolls and rolls are a universal substitute for dough. If there is no desire to mess with the dough, you can wrap something delicious in pita bread and either eat it like that, or fry it, or bake it in the oven. I recently made envelopes of pita bread with cheese - pita bread can not be distinguished from ordinary dough at all - it turned out so soft and delicious. The abundance of all kinds of fillings is simply amazing, starting from crab sticks and ending with mushrooms, meat and vegetables. There were even sweet rolls with cottage cheese, fruit and condensed milk.
