VEGETABLES-AND-DIP PITA POCKET



Vegetables-and-Dip Pita Pocket image

Children can enjoy the fun combination in these pita pocket sandwiches. Each bite delivers the crunch of vegetables and the creaminess of dip. Sweet pickles add a little excitement to each bite. You can swap the standard pairing of carrots and celery for other crunchy vegetables you enjoy raw, like fennel, cucumber or peppers.

PITA POCKET RECIPES: 21 IDEAS YOU HAVEN'T TRIED - GREATIST

Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
  • Roasted Mediterranean cauliflower and potato pitas. Roasted cauliflower and potatoes are filling and delicious enough without assistance.
  • Mini Mediterranean tuna pita wraps. From the oil-packed tuna and the Kalamata olives to the Israeli salad and minty yogurt sauce, everything about these quick sandwiches comes with full-on Mediterranean flavor.
  • Greek salmon pita sandwich. Salmon packed in pouches is a super-convenient way to get in your omega-3 fatty acids without a hefty price tag.
  • Roasted harissa sweet potato and chicken pitas. Harissa powder adds a just-spicy-enough touch to the fiber-rich mix of chickpeas and sweet potatoes inside this pita.
  • Lemony broccoli, chickpea, and avocado pita sandwiches. From the broccoli to the garbanzo beans, there’s no shortage of fiber in these pita pockets.
  • Tempeh + sweet potato stuffed pita with cashew chipotle sauce. Between the meaty tempeh, the hearty sweet potato, and the spicy cashew sauce, there’s so much texture, flavor, and substance in these pita pockets that you’d never notice the absence of animal protein.
  • Eggplant and cabbage pitas. While there’s a good amount of oil in this recipe, it’s the heart-healthy fatty acids in the olive oil that give this pita pocket a nutritional kick in the butt.
  • Spicy chickpea edamame salad pitas. Want to pump up your pita with plant based protein? Stir chickpeas and edamame into Greek yogurt.
  • Baked falafel. We never met a fried falafel we didn’t like (apart from one that insulted our hats) but these baked ones are just as tasty.
  • BBQ tofu pita. Tofu tends to adopt whatever flavors it’s cooked in. And who doesn’t love a BBQ? Those looking for a smoky, meat-free powerhouse of a pita need look no further.
