Assemble sandwiches by stuffing each pita half with ¼ cup arugula 2 slices of eggplant (careful, eggplant will be hot!), a few slices of red onion and ½ Tbsp walnuts. Drizzle each pita half with additional dressing. Serve.
Note: eggplant can also be grilled ahead of time and chilled for quick sandwich assembly when ready to eat.
