Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and dry all produce. Quarter the cucumber lengthwise, then slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick pieces. Halve the grape tomatoes. Pick the dill fronds and roughly chop them. Halve the lemon. Cut the pitas in half to form pockets.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, pepitas, half of the chopped dill, a generous drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss well.
- In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the remaining dill and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. This is your creamy dill sauce.
- Toast the pita halves until warm and pliable. Spread a bit of hummus inside each pita half. Fill with the vegetable salad, then drizzle with dill sauce. Top with crumbled feta and hot sauce to taste. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For extra crunch, toast the pepitas in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes before adding to the salad.
If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the hot sauce or omit it entirely.
Make it a meal: serve with a side of olives or a simple green salad.
FAQ
Can I use regular pita instead of whole wheat?

How do I store leftovers?

Can I substitute the feta cheese?
Yes, you can use crumbled goat cheese or omit the cheese for a dairy-free version.
