Greek Salad Pitas With Hummus is a twist on the classic Greek salad. This recipe takes all the delicious ingredients of a traditional Greek salad and stuffs them into a pita pocket, making it a quick and easy meal on the go. The hummus adds a creamy and tangy touch to the dish, while the feta cheese and kalamata olives give it a salty and savory flavor. This recipe is perfect for those looking for a vegetarian, healthy, and flavorful meal option.

Instructions

1.	Begin by prepping all the vegetables. Wash and dry the salad greens and tomatoes, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Peel and thinly slice the cucumber, and pit and halve the kalamata olives. Crumble the feta cheese and set it aside.
2.	In a small bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette dressing and set it aside.
3.	To assemble the pitas, start by spreading the hummus evenly onto the inside of the pita bread.
4.	Layer the vegetables on top of the hummus, adding the salad greens first, followed by the tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
5.	Drizzle the vinaigrette over the vegetables, then fold the pita bread in half and serve immediately.
