This easy and flavorful slow cooker pork souvlaki is made with Greek spices, lemon and olive oil. Perfect for shredding and serving in a pita with creamy tzatziki sauce.

Greek food has a lot in common with Syrian food, the food I grew up eating. Often full of lemon, garlic, and olive oil, you always know that a Greek meal is going to be full of flavor but not leaving you overly full of feeling heavy.

Fortunately, my entire family loves Greek food so we make it quite a bit. These slow cooker pork souvlaki pitas were not only easy to make but a huge hit with the little ones.

Pork shoulder is slowly cooked in a Greek marinade made with simple ingredients like lemon, olive oil, dried mint and za’atar. When it’s done cooking, I simply shred it with two forks and stuff it into pitas with tomatoes, onions and our favorite Sabra Cucumber Dill Tzatziki Dip.

The cool and creamy tzatziki is the perfect balance to the savory Greek souvlaki. If you have dip leftover, serve it over grilled chicken, salmon or use as a dip with vegetables. The options are endless.
Your fork is waiting.
