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!
Use artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers packed in brine rather than in oil. Oil-packed veggies will weigh down this dish. You can always add a drizzle of olive oil before serving if you want to get that flavor and texture.
Add feta cheese and/or fresh basil on top of the relish for even MORE Mediterranean goodness!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped artichoke hearts
- 1/2 cup diced plum tomato
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced roasted red peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped black olives
- 1/4 cup chopped green olives
- 2 Tablespoons Tuscany Bread Dipping Seasoning or Mild Tuscany Bread Dipping Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 whole wheat pitas
- 1 cup hummus
Instructions:
- Combine artichoke hearts, tomato, red onion, roasted red peppers, black olives, and green olives in a colander or strainer.
- Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to drain excess moisture from tomatoes, peppers and olives.
- Transfer relish ingredients to a bowl and add Tuscany Bread Dipping Seasoning and olive oil.
- Stir to combine and let relish marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. The longer you let the relish marinate, the more flavorful it will be.
- Place pitas under the oven broiler for about 3 minutes, turning once during this time, until pitas are warm and slightly crisp.
- Spread 1/4 cup hummus on top of each pita and top with relish.
