To save money on this classic Greek pocket sandwich, try using less expensive chicken thighs or turkey thighs instead of pricier chicken breasts. Cube and broil the chicken as the recipe directs.

Topped with feta cheese, kalamata olives and peppers, Greek salad fans will love this pizza.

This Middle Eastern-style sandwich is a great way to use leftover rice that will save money, too. Simply substitute 11/2 cups cooked rice-white, brown or basmati-for the bulgur.
Ground lamb can be expensive and difficult to find at the supermarket. You can save money by purchasing lamb stew meat and grinding it yourself, or ask the butcher.

Grandma's egg salad with fresh parsley and bacon is the best I've ever tasted!
You can save both cash and calories by simply eliminating the mozzarella cheese from this recipe. The feta cheese alone delivers lots of flavor and is lower in fat than mozzarella.
