Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 1 cup Hummus
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Wash and prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, cut the cherry tomatoes in halves, and chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a simple dressing.
In a large bowl, toss the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, kalamata olives, and parsley with the dressing until evenly coated.
Warm the pita bread briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make it pliable and easier to open.
Slice each pita bread in half to create pockets. Carefully open the pockets to avoid tearing them.
Spread a generous layer of hummus inside each pita pocket.
Fill the pockets with a handful of fresh spinach leaves, followed by the dressed vegetable mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Mediterranean Pita Pocket Sandwiches!
