Ingredients

  1. 2 pita bread rounds (whole wheat or regular)
    1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
    1/2 cucumber, sliced
    1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
    1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    1/4 cup carrots, sliced into sticks
    1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
    Olive oil for drizzling (optional)
    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cut the pita bread rounds into halves or quarters to create smaller, bite-sized pieces.

  1. Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet for a minute or two until it’s soft and slightly crispy.
  2. Spread a generous amount of hummus on each piece of pita bread.
  3. Arrange the sliced cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and carrot sticks on top of the hummus-covered pita.
  4. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for added color and flavor (optional).
  5. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top for extra richness (optional).
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add protein: Include a layer of grilled chicken, falafel, or roasted chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Spice it up: Add a sprinkle of paprika, cumin, or red pepper flakes for a kick of spice.
  • Cheese: Top with crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese for added richness and flavor.
  • Extra veggies: Add more veggies like lettuce, spinach, or radishes for extra crunch and nutrients.
  • Vegan option: This recipe is already vegan if you use a plant-based hummus and skip the cheese.
