Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.
In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
Dress the mixture with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine.
Gently fold in the chopped parsley to add freshness.
Warm the low carb pitta bread or wraps slightly in a toaster or skillet to make them pliable.
In a small bowl, mix the hummus with a little water to reach a dressing consistency.
Open the warm pitta pockets and spread a thin layer of hummus inside each one.
Stuff each pitta pocket with a generous handful of the mixed salad greens.
Fill the pockets with the Mediterranean vegetable mixture, pressing gently to pack them.
Drizzle a little more hummus on top of each filled pocket and serve immediately.
