Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 carrots (sliced into thin strips using a vegetable peeler)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (or vegan alternative yogurt, if desired)
1/4 cup fresh chopped dill
1 clove garlic (minced)
kosher salt (to taste)
4 pita flatbreads
Dill Yogurt Sauce ((ingredients above))
1 cup hummus
1 cup prepared tabbouleh ((aka tabouli))
1 cup baby greens
1 cup sliced tomatoes
pickled carrots ((ingredients above))

Steps:

In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients for pickled carrots. Set aside for at least 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients for dill yogurt sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Wrap a damp paper towel around the pita bread and microwave until just warmed (about 10 seconds per pita). This will make it more malleable and less likely to break.
To assemble the sandwiches, layer about 2-3 tablespoons of the hummus, yogurt sauce, and tabbouleh, with some greens, tomato, and carrots, in that order, on each pita. Carefully wrap the pita around the ingredients. If it seems too messy or like it's going to break, wrap it in foil or parchment to keep it together.
