GREEK SALAD PITAS WITH HUMMUS



Greek Salad Pitas With Hummus image

Very light and yet filling at the same time. I just put these together the other day, so all of the ingredient amounts are approximate. You could add any number of things to the salad that you like (bell peppers, red onion, etc.). Also, my pitas were thin and large. If you use thicker and/or smaller pitas, obviously you won't fit as much in each portion. The hummus really adds character to these sandwiches (and also a little protein). Enjoy!

2 cups mixed salad greens
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
12 kalamata olives, pitted and sliced in half
2 ounces feta cheese
1 tablespoon vinaigrette dressing (of your choice)
3 tablespoons hummus
1 whole wheat pita bread (large size, or use 2 small size)

Steps:

  • Toss together first six ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Cut the pita in half. Open each half gently with a knife and toast them slightly (you want it to be a little firm but not crispy). Spread each pita half with 1.5 tablespoons of hummus. Then stuff each pita half with as much of the salad as you can fit. Enjoy!

/strong
Crispy Chicken Strips
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 mini cucumbers, cut into ½-inch half-moons
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in halves
½ cup pitted Kalamata olives, cut in halves
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
4 pita pockets, cut in half

Steps:

  • Mix together the garlic and oregano. Place chicken on a baking sheet and sprinkle with half of garlic mixture. Prepare Crispy Chicken Strips according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, cucumbers, and remaining garlic mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the chicken, yogurt sauce, tomatoes, olives, and pepper among the pita pockets.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your salad and pitas.
  • Don't overcrowd the pitas. You want to be able to fold them up without them falling apart.
  • Drizzle the pitas with olive oil before grilling. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the pitas over medium heat. This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the pitas warm. They are best enjoyed when they are fresh out of the grill.

Conclusion:

Greek salad pitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer or snack. With their fresh, flavorful ingredients, these pitas are a great way to enjoy the taste of Greece.
