Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pita pockets

1 cup classic hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

1 medium carrot, grated

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup purple cabbage, shredded

¼ cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: Feta cheese or a sprinkle of za'atar for extra flavor

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Start by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Slice the cucumber, dice the bell pepper, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Grate the carrot and shred the cabbage. Set aside.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This dressing will brighten up the flavors of your veggies.

      Assemble the Wraps: Take a whole wheat pita pocket and gently open it up to create a pocket.

        Spread the Hummus: Spoon in about ¼ cup of hummus into each pita pocket, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

          Add the Veggies: In the pita, layer the sliced cucumber, grated carrot, diced bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cabbage, and chopped herbs. You can get creative with the layering—make it colorful and vibrant!

            Drizzle with Dressing: Lightly drizzle the prepared lemon dressing over the stuffed veggies. If desired, sprinkle some feta cheese or za'atar spice on top for added flavor.

              Serve or Chill: You can enjoy the wraps immediately, or if you prefer a chilled effect, wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and place them in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving.

                Cut and Enjoy: If desired, cut the pitas in half for easier handling and serve as a refreshing lunch or snack!
