Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
- 2 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 cup hummus
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all the vegetables thoroughly.
Shred the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
Dice the cucumber into small cubes and add to the bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Add both to the bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese over the mixed vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss until evenly coated.
Cut the pita bread in half to form pockets. Spread a thin layer of hummus inside each pocket to add flavor and prevent sogginess.
Stuff the dressed salad mixture evenly into each pita half.
Serve immediately, or wrap individually in foil or parchment for portable meals.
