Easy Greek Pita Appetizers To Make This Spring image

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Spring Appetizers

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the Whipped Feta Cheese Spread
8 oz. Greek Feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 TBSP. apple cider (or red wine) vinegar
½ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper
3-4 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
For the Toasted Pita Bread
3-4 pieces good quality Greek pita bread (I used Zea Greek pita)
For the toppings
Smoked salmon, cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, olives, capers, fresh dill, red onions, or your favorite toppings.

Steps:

  • Place the Feta, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper in a small food processor and process until fairly smooth.
  • Add the extra virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream while continuing to pulse (you may need more or less olive oil, depending on the consistency you desire). Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour. Bring to room temperature, stir again and serve.
  • Gather all the toppings to assemble the Greek pita appetizers.
  • Lightly toast the pita bread, cut into wedges, and set aside.
  • Spread some whipped Feta cheese spread on each pita.
  • For the salmon-topped pita wedges. Using a vegetable peeler, cut a baby cucumber into ribbons and then slice a few baby radishes with a very sharp knife. Place on the pita wedges. Top with thin slices of smoked salmon, a few fresh dill sprigs, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • For the tomato and cucumber-topped pita wedges. In a small bowl, toss a few heirloom cherry tomato halves, baby cucumber slices, chopped Kalamata olives, sliced shallots, olive oil and oregano. Top the pita wedges with the mixture and sprinkle with some sea salt.
  • For the radish and edamame-topped pita wedges. Slice a couple of baby radishes very thinly and place them on the pita wedges. Top with cooked edamame, minced red onion, a sprinkle of sea salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.
