GREEK SALAD HUMMUS BOARD
This Greek Salad Hummus Board is an unbelievably flavor-packed appetizer + it's SO easy to make! It starts with a base of the creamiest hummus, and ends with loads of fresh herbs, arugula, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, red bell pepper, and cubes of feta cheese. It's refreshing, full of texture, and amazingly delicious with some grilled pita!

Steps:
- Add chickpeas, tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and olive oil to a food processor. Blend until smooth. With the processor running, add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until hummus is super creamy, lighter in color, and thins out a little bit. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Add arugula and microgreens to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil and lemon juice and toss to combine.
- Spread the hummus on a large platter or plate with a slight edge, into about 1/2'' thick layer. Top with the arugula salad. Sprinkle the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta, bell pepper, red onion, mint, and parsley evenly over the arugula and hummus. Zest 1/4-1/2 of a lemon over top, and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle the whole thing with a couple pinches of flaky sea salt and garnish with mint leaves, if desired. Serve with grilled pita bread, pita chips, and your favorite dippers!

FRIED FETA GREEK SALAD PITAS
These are inspired by fried mozzarella sticks, briny Greek salad and falafel pitas. The only thing better than fried cheese on a salad...is stuffing that salad in a fluffy pita. The result is a party of textures, flavors and colors in one delicious handheld bite.

Steps:
- Combine the olives, cucumbers, red pepper and onion in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, a big pinch of salt and some black pepper and toss to combine. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator while you make the feta.
- For the feta, prepare a dredging station. In a rimmed dish, add the flour. In a separate rimmed dish, whisk the egg with a splash of water. In a third separate dish, whisk together the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Coat each chunk of feta in the flour and tap off the excess. Dunk in the beaten egg and then coat in the breadcrumbs, tapping off the excess.
- Heat a 1/4-inch layer of olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. (Test to see if it is hot enough by sprinkling a bit of breadcrumb in the oil. If it sizzles right away, it's ready.) Carefully place the breaded feta cubes in the oil and fry in batches for 90 seconds to 2 minutes on the first side, undisturbed. Flip and fry on the other side for another minute or so, or until golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet and allow excess oil to drain. Repeat until all pieces are fried.
- To serve, slice open each pita and create a pocket. Schmear a big plop of hummus inside each one, followed by some arugula. Top with a pile of the Greek salad, a few chunks of the warm, fried feta, a dollop of yogurt and a few pieces of mint. Serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce, if desired.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together the water, sugar and yeast just to dissolve. Add the oil and salt and then gradually add the flour. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix for 7 to 10 minutes, adding just enough additional flour so that the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Do not add too much flour. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky. Lightly coat a clean large bowl with oil or cooking spray, then place the dough in the bowl and turn it once or twice to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Turn the dough onto a clean work surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Mold each piece into a ball by stretching the top and tucking the edges under. Place the balls 1 inch apart on a piece of parchment paper, cover them with plastic wrap and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Set an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- With a rolling pin, roll out the balls of dough into 6-inch circles. Place them on the baking sheets and bake for about 5 minutes, or until they're puffy and just starting to brown.
GREEK SALAD PITAS WITH HUMMUS
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!

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!
- Eat any leftover salad. :-).

- Purée 1 1/4 cups chickpeas, water, and 1/4 cup dressing in a food processor until almost smooth.
- Heat grill pan over high heat until smoking and lightly brush with oil, then grill pitas, 2 at a time, turning over once, until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes total per batch. Transfer to plates.
- Add salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, cheese, and remaining chickpeas to remaining dressing in bowl and toss to coat well.
- Spread some chickpea purée on each pita, then mound salad on top.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe vegetables. This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and crisp.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will add a rich, fruity flavor to your salad.
- Don't overdress the salad. A little olive oil and vinegar is all you need to bring out the flavors of the vegetables.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the vegetables from wilting.
- If you're making the salad ahead of time, store the dressing separately and add it just before serving.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as oregano or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
