Ingredients

For The Pita Pockets

  • 4 whole wheat pita cut in half
  • ½ cup hummus

For The Dressing

For The Sandwich Filling

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.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • 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.
