Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces mini pita breads
- 1 cup hummus (plain or flavored)
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium cucumber, diced
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives, sliced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the mini pita breads in half to create pockets, if they are not pre-sliced.
Spread a generous tablespoon of hummus inside each pita pocket as a base layer.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, chopped red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the vegetable mixture. Add salt and black pepper, then toss gently to coat evenly.
Stuff each pita pocket with the prepared vegetable mixture, taking care not to overfill.
Garnish the filled pockets with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Arrange the stuffed pitas on a serving platter and optionally serve with extra hummus or tzatziki on the side.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving to maintain freshness.
