Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large pita breads
- 1 cup hummus
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and washed thoroughly. Place clean cutting board and knife ready for preparation.
- Carefully slice pita breads in half horizontally to create thin, round pizza bases. If pitas are thick, you can lightly toast them for extra crispness.
- Spread a generous and even layer of hummus across each pita bread base, covering the surface completely with approximately 1/4 cup of hummus per pita.
- Dice cucumber into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/4 inch in size. Halve cherry tomatoes and thinly slice red onions and olives.
- Artfully distribute cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and olive slices across the hummus-covered pita surfaces, creating a colorful and balanced topping arrangement.
- Finely chop fresh parsley leaves to use as a vibrant garnish.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the topped pitas, adding a fresh herbal note and visual appeal.
- For best flavor, let pizzas rest for 2-3 minutes to allow ingredients to meld together before serving.
- Cut each pita pizza into wedges and serve immediately at room temperature.
Tips
- Choose high-quality, fresh ingredients: The success of this recipe depends on the freshness of your vegetables and the creaminess of your hummus.
- Prep ingredients in advance: Chop all vegetables uniformly to ensure even distribution and a beautiful presentation.
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the flavors meld together more effectively.
- Experiment with hummus varieties: Try different flavored hummus like roasted red pepper or garlic to add extra depth.
- For extra crunch, lightly toast the pita bread before adding toppings.
- Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or a sprinkle of za'atar spice for an authentic Mediterranean touch.
- Serve immediately after preparing to enjoy the optimal texture and freshness of the ingredients.
- These pizzas are perfect for meal prep – assemble just before serving to keep the pita crisp and ingredients fresh.
