Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 1 cup Hummus
- 2 cups Leafy greens (spinach or mixed greens)
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the pita bread in half to create pockets and set aside.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, halve the cherry tomatoes, shred the carrot, and thinly slice the red bell pepper and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make a simple dressing.
In a mixing bowl, combine the leafy greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, carrot, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle the dressing over the veggies and toss gently to coat.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus inside each pita pocket to create a base layer.
Fill each pita pocket with the mixed dressed vegetables, then top with a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
