Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 1 cup Hummus
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and prepare all vegetables. Dice the cucumber into small cubes, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and roughly chop the Kalamata olives and fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to coat evenly.
Warm the pita bread slightly, either in a toaster, microwave, or on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
Cut each pita bread in half to create pockets.
Spread a generous layer (about 2 tablespoons) of hummus inside each pita pocket.
Fill each pita pocket with the prepared Greek salad mixture.
Garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of feta cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.
