Ingredients

For The Pita Pockets

4 whole wheat pita cut in half
½ cup hummus

For The Dressing

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 pinch salt
1 tbsp lemon juice

2 cups baby spinach
6 kalamata olives sliced

½ cup chickpeas drained and rinsed

Instructions

Prepare the dressing by whisking all dressing ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl combine all of the sandwich filling ingredients, drizzle with prepared dressing and mix well.
To assemble the pita sandwich spread a thin layer of hummus on the inside of the pita bread.
Fill the pita bread with salad filling, being careful not to over fill as this will cause the pita bread to tear and fall apart.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Notes

My #1 Secret Tip to making the best Greek Pita Sandwich is to avoid excess liquid when adding the filling. Using a slotted spoon to transfer the mixture helps drain any extra dressing, preventing the pita bread from getting soggy and breaking apart. This keeps the sandwich fresh, flavorful, and easy to eat.
Do Not Overfill: I make sure not to overfill the pita so it does not tear or fall apart. Keeping it just right makes it easier to eat.

Best Flavor Results: I always use fresh lemon juice and high-quality olive oil for the best taste. It makes a big difference in bringing out the Mediterranean flavors.

To Meal Prep: I prepare the sandwich filling ahead and store it in the fridge for up to two days. I wait to add the dressing until I am ready to assemble so everything stays fresh.
