Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces mini whole wheat pitas
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
Instructions
- Prep vegetables: Gather all ingredients and rinse vegetables under cold water. Slice cucumber thinly and halve cherry tomatoes for optimal bite-sized pieces.
- Warm pitas: Lightly toast mini pitas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until warm and pliable.
- Add hummus: Gently open each mini pita and scoop a generous dollop of hummus inside, spreading it evenly.
- Layer vegetables: Add sliced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh spinach in layers.
- Serve immediately: Close each pita pocket gently and serve while warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Warm pitas just until pliable – overheating makes them brittle and prone to cracking
- Pat cherry tomatoes dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture from making pockets soggy
- For meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before eating to maintain freshness
- Experiment with different hummus flavors like roasted red pepper or olive tapenade for variety
