Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup Green olives
- 0.5 cup Roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup Hummus
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.25 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions
Prepare the muffaletta relish by combining the Kalamata olives, green olives, roasted red peppers, capers, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed. Set aside.
Warm the pita breads slightly in a toaster or a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, just until soft and pliable.
Spread a generous layer of hummus onto each pita bread, covering the center.
Top the hummus with a few spoonfuls of the muffaletta relish, spreading it evenly.
Layer the cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese on top of the relish.
Add a small handful of mixed greens or arugula to each pita for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Fold the pitas into a taco-like shape or wrap them partially in parchment paper for easy handling.
Serve immediately and enjoy the Mediterranean flavors!
