    Pita Pocket Salad Wrap is a candid and a crunchy protein-packed salad with garbanzo beans filled inside the pita pockets and coated with hummus. It is a delicious and a balanced meal for your lunch box. Check out the salad dressing and how I pack this Pita pocket salad wrap for my lunch.

    Pita Pocket Salad Wrap served in a wooden plate

    For this week’s Blogging Marathon, the theme is “Rolls and Wraps.”  I got this recipe from my colleague. It’s a simple salad recipe, and you can prepare it under 30 minutes. It is very filling and at the same time delicious too. Yes, salads are delicious when we use the right ingredients and right dressings.

    What’s in the Salad?

    For this recipe, I used cooked garbanzo beans, some mixed salad greens, cucumber, olives, tomatoes, onions, hummus and some mozzarella cheese. I know feta cheese goes well with this, but as its hard to source the rennet-free one, I go with the cheddar or mozzarella.

    I love the flavors of balsamic vinegar, and that’s what I am using for this salad too. Oil + balsamic vinegar + salt and pepper. Mix and drizzle. The dressing is as simple as that.

    You can use the store bought Pita bread or homemade ones as well. You can find the Zaatar Pita Bread recipe and Rotimatic Pita Bread recipe on my blog.

    How do I pack this for work?

    I take the greens, salad, pita pockets and hummus separately. I take the dressing with added salt and pepper separately. Before lunch, I just spread the hummus in the pita pocket and mix the required salad with dressing. You can add avocado to make it healthier. This salad measure serves four people. Now here is the pita pocket salad recipe,

    Ingredients:

    • For Filling:
    • Mixed greens – a handful
    • English Cucumber – 1 (chopped, approx 2 cups)

    • Olives – 5 (cut)
    • Cooked Garbanzo beans – 1.5 cups
    • Onion – chopped, ¼ cup
    • Dressing:
    • Olive oil – 1 tbsp
    • Balsamic Vinegar – 1.5 tbsp
    • Salt – ¾ tsp
    • Pepper – 1 tsp
    • For Wrap:
    • Pita Bread – 4
    • Hummus – 4 tbsp (1 tbsp for each bread)

    Steps:

    • Chop the cucumber, tomatoes, and olives and mix it with the garbanzo beans.

    Chopping the cucumber, tomatoes and olives, and mixing with the garbanzo beans

    • Add the greens, cheese, and the dressing

    Adding the greens, cheese and the dressing

      Looking so yummy! Btw are those ready to eat pita breads? I saw some ready made pita breads here.. But didn’t know how to cook them. Do you usually toast?

      Reply

        January 24, 2015 at 9:58 am

        Thanks. Yeah pa those are ready to eat pita breads only. If its in room temperature you can eat them just like that or you can warm them in tawa like you do for ready made rotis. At work I just use the bread toaster and toast them. :-)
