Ingredients
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved (about 5.5 ounces / 158 grams)
- ¼ English cucumber, quartered and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as mint and dill)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cloved garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 pita breads (preferably pocketless)
- ⅔ cup Hummus
- 2 tablespoons pickled onions (see note)
- 8 kalamata olives, sliced
- 2 ounces (57 grams) feta cheese, crumbled (about ½ cup)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven's broiler.
- Stir together tomatoes, cucumber, herbs, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper flakes, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Place pita bread directly on oven rack below broiler. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until pitas are lightly browned and crisp. (Watch closely to avoid burning.)
- Spread each pita with hummus. Then top with tomato mixture, followed by pickled onions, olives, and feta.
- Cut into quarters and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Onions - I pickled my own onions for this recipe (it's super easy). If you'd prefer, you can use raw red onions instead. Just stir them directly into the tomato mixture. Tip: For less bite, rinse the raw onions under cold water, then blot dry.
Pitas - There are two types of pita breads: ones with pockets, and pocketless. You can use either for this recipe, but I prefer pocketless pita (which is sometimes called Greek pita bread). It's slightly thicker and fluffier, and it stands up to the toppings better.
Broil or Toast - I like to broil the pitas, because they cook more evenly. If you don't want to turn on the oven, you can cook them in your toaster instead. Just keep in mind that you may need to rotate them, depending on the size of your toaster / pitas.
More - Consider this more of a template than a set-in-stone recipe! It's easy to customize depending on what's in your fridge / pantry. Check out the tips before this recipe card for tips, tons of variations, and other helpful info.
