Mediterranean Pitas
This colorful dish is perfect for a lunch or a lite dinner. Homemade hummus is so versatile, we use it for many different things. It makes a great spread on sandwiches instead of mayo and is a perfect dip for fresh, cut veggies, but one of our favorite uses for hummus is on (or in) pita bread. This time we added a Mediterranean olive and artichoke relish to add another level of healthy greek flavors to this yummy dish!
I chose not to use the artichoke hearts or roasted red peppers marinated in oil, in my opinion it makes everything too oily. I would rather add olive oil to the relish than get it from a jar/can.
Another serving suggestion: Add feta cheese and/or fresh basil on top of the relish for even MORE Mediterranean goodness!
This Mediterranean Pita is very low in cholesterol while also a being good source of fiber, Vitamin C and Selenium, and is a very good source of Manganese. The downside is that it is high in sodium.
