Packed with nutrient-rich ingredients like whole-grain or gluten-free pita, creamy hummus, fresh cucumber, juicy cherry tomatoes, and briny Kalamata olives, this handheld delight delivers a burst of flavor in every bite. A zesty drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and ground black pepper ties it all together, while crisp romaine lettuce and a sprinkle of parsley add refreshing texture and herbaceous notes.

Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and the cherry tomatoes into halves. Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper to create a light dressing.
Cut the pita bread in half to create pockets. If the pockets seem too tight, gently loosen the edges to make room for the fillings.
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus inside each half pita pocket for a creamy and flavorful base.
Stuff each pita pocket with a lettuce leaf, cucumber slices, cherry tomato halves, and chopped red onion.
Add 2 Kalamata olives to each pocket for a burst of Mediterranean flavor.
Drizzle the light olive oil and lemon dressing evenly over the stuffed ingredients in the pockets.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free, vegan Mediterranean sandwich!
