Pita
bread is a versatile alternative to standard sliced bread,
and can be cut in half then opened up to form neat pockets,
ready to be stuffed with the filling of your choice. In this
recipe, pita bread is filled with a combination of traditional
Greek salad and velvety smooth hummus to make a delicious
and nutritious meal-in-a-pocket.
