Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
- 0.5 cup hummus
Instructions
Drain and chop the marinated artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Dice the red bell pepper, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion. Set the vegetables aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, and paprika to create a dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and baby spinach. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to coat.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.
Cut each pita bread in half to create pockets. Spread about 1 tablespoon of hummus inside each pita half.
Stuff each pita half with the dressed vegetable mixture and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
