falafel pitas with cucumber-yogurt dressing

This has been in my Things I Should Make folder for a couple of weeks now, and on Friday I finally took my own advice. While it doesn't taste at all authentic it was fast, cheap, and pretty yummy. I have no regrets. Also, I learned that I need and want more plain yogurt in my life.

Falafel Pitas with Cucumber-Yogurt Dressing
from Cooking Light

1/4 cup minced red onion
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 (1-ounce) slice whole wheat bread, torn into pieces
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (6-inch) whole wheat pitas, split

1/2 cup Cucumber-Yogurt Dressing (1/4 c. minced red onion, 1/2 c. seedless chopped cucumber, 1 c. plain yogurt)

Preparation
Combine first 10 ingredients in a food processor; pulse 6 times or until well blended (mixture will be wet).
