Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Cutting board and sharp knife
  • Skillet or toaster (for pita)
  • Mixing bowl

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Sesame (in hummus)

Instructions

1 ✓

Prep veggies: slice cucumber and tomatoes thinly, cut pepper into strips.

Tip: Dry veggies after washing so they don't soak the pita.
2 ✓

Make quick dressing: whisk oil, lemon, salt, pepper until creamy.

Tip: Mixing oil and acid thoroughly ensures every leaf gets flavor.
3 ✓

Toss arugula with dressing right before serving.

Tip: Salt draws moisture out, wilting the salad if dressed too early.
4 ✓

Warm pitas in a skillet or toaster for 1-2 mins until soft.

Tip: Heating relaxes starch, making pita flexible.
5 ✓

Cut pita open to make a pocket or spread hummus on top.

Tip: Hummus fat acts as a barrier protecting bread from wet veggies.
6 ✓

Fill with veggies and salad. Eat immediately.

Tip: Layer hard veggies (pepper) at bottom, soft (tomato) on top.
