Directions
Step 1
Prepare the muffaletta relish by combining the Kalamata olives, green olives, roasted red peppers, capers, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed. Set aside.
Step 2
Warm the pita breads slightly in a toaster or a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, just until soft and pliable.
Step 3
Spread a generous layer of hummus onto each pita bread, covering the center.
Step 4
Top the hummus with a few spoonfuls of the muffaletta relish, spreading it evenly.
Step 5
Layer the cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese on top of the relish.
Step 6
Add a small handful of mixed greens or arugula to each pita for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Step 7
Fold the pitas into a taco-like shape or wrap them partially in parchment paper for easy handling.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy the Mediterranean flavors!
