For The Pita Pockets
- 4 whole wheat pita cut in half
- ½ cup hummus
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.
Serve immediately.
- Pita sandwiches are best served immediately as the pita bread may become soggy if filled and left for too long.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- The salad can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Do not add the dressing to the salad until you are ready to make the pita sandwiches.
- For a vegan option substitute the feta cheese with vegan feta.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less cayenne pepper to the dressing.
- Prepare the dressing ahead of time and store in a sealable glass jar in a cool dry place for up to 3 days. To serve make sure to give it a good share to re emulsify the dressing.
- Fresh herbs such as basil, oregano and parsley can be added to the sandwich filling to add additional freshness and flavor.
- Overfilling pita sandwiches will cause the bread to tear and fall apart.
