👩🍳 Instructions
1
Prepare the vegetables: In a medium bowl, combine the finely diced cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
2
Season the vegetable mixture: Add the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper to the vegetables. Toss gently to combine all ingredients. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes for flavors to meld.
3
Warm the pita bread: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each pita for about 30 seconds per side until it puffs slightly and is pliable. Alternatively, warm in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes.
4
Assemble the sandwiches: Carefully open each warm pita to create a pocket. Spread a generous layer of hummus inside each pita pocket.
5
Fill and garnish: Spoon a hearty amount of the seasoned vegetable mixture into each pita. If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and optional mint before serving immediately.
💡 Notes
For extra protein, add grilled chicken, falafel, or chickpeas. The veggie mixture can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge, but assemble the sandwiches just before eating to prevent sogginess. Adjust lemon juice and salt to your personal preference.
