  • 1 cup hummus (your favorite flavor)
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions

Let’s assemble these easy and delicious Vegan Pita Pockets!

Step 1: Make the Tahini Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, salt, and pepper. Start with 2 tablespoons of water and add more, a tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick but pourable.

Step 2: Prepare the Pita Bread

Cut the pita bread in half to form pockets. If your pita bread is not pre-split, carefully use a knife to create an opening along one edge of each pita.

Step 3: Spread Hummus

Spread a generous layer of hummus inside each pita pocket, coating the inside evenly.

Step 4: Fill with Vegetables

Fill the pita pockets with the sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, and shredded lettuce. You can adjust the amount of each vegetable to your liking.

Step 5: Drizzle with Dressing

Drizzle the tahini dressing generously over the vegetables inside each pita pocket.

Step 6: Serve

Serve the Vegan Pita Pockets immediately.
