GREEK SALAD STUFFED PITAS
This is my simplified version of a classic Greek salad served in pita pockets. A very fresh and delicious summer meal. Feel free to add any of your favorite toppings, like Kalamata or black olives, grilled chicken, peppers, etc. Omit feta for vegan/dairy-free option.

FRIED FETA GREEK SALAD PITAS
These are inspired by fried mozzarella sticks, briny Greek salad and falafel pitas. The only thing better than fried cheese on a salad...is stuffing that salad in a fluffy pita. The result is a party of textures, flavors and colors in one delicious handheld bite.

Steps:
- Combine the olives, cucumbers, red pepper and onion in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, a big pinch of salt and some black pepper and toss to combine. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator while you make the feta.
- For the feta, prepare a dredging station. In a rimmed dish, add the flour. In a separate rimmed dish, whisk the egg with a splash of water. In a third separate dish, whisk together the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Coat each chunk of feta in the flour and tap off the excess. Dunk in the beaten egg and then coat in the breadcrumbs, tapping off the excess.
- Heat a 1/4-inch layer of olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. (Test to see if it is hot enough by sprinkling a bit of breadcrumb in the oil. If it sizzles right away, it's ready.) Carefully place the breaded feta cubes in the oil and fry in batches for 90 seconds to 2 minutes on the first side, undisturbed. Flip and fry on the other side for another minute or so, or until golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet and allow excess oil to drain. Repeat until all pieces are fried.
- To serve, slice open each pita and create a pocket. Schmear a big plop of hummus inside each one, followed by some arugula. Top with a pile of the Greek salad, a few chunks of the warm, fried feta, a dollop of yogurt and a few pieces of mint. Serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce, if desired.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together the water, sugar and yeast just to dissolve. Add the oil and salt and then gradually add the flour. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix for 7 to 10 minutes, adding just enough additional flour so that the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Do not add too much flour. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky. Lightly coat a clean large bowl with oil or cooking spray, then place the dough in the bowl and turn it once or twice to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Turn the dough onto a clean work surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Mold each piece into a ball by stretching the top and tucking the edges under. Place the balls 1 inch apart on a piece of parchment paper, cover them with plastic wrap and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Set an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- With a rolling pin, roll out the balls of dough into 6-inch circles. Place them on the baking sheets and bake for about 5 minutes, or until they're puffy and just starting to brown.
PITA STUFFED WITH TABBOULEH AND SHARDS OF FETA
Steps:
- Place the bulgur in a large bowl, pour in the boiling water, and add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir, then allow to stand at room temperature for about an hour.
- Add the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper; mix well. Season to taste and serve, or cover and refrigerate. The flavor will improve if the tabbouleh sits for a few hours.
- Stuff the tabbouleh and feta into the pita breads.

6 DELICIOUS WAYS TO STUFF A PITA - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
- Falafel Pita Sandwich. Pita bread's best-known stuffing is the classic falafel (fried chickpea balls). Typically paired with an Israeli salad of diced tomatoes, diced cucumbers, and sliced onions, the whole sandwich is drizzled with tahini sauce.
- Sabich Sandwich. Almost as popular as a falafel stuffed pita, the sabich is a Middle Eastern sandwich with fried eggplant, hard-boiled egg, hummus, tahini, Israeli salad (diced tomatoes, diced cucumbers, and sliced onions), and a sweet and spicy mango sauce called amba.
- Middle Eastern Chicken Shawarma. Shawarma sandwiches are the ultimate Middle Eastern on-the-go meal and they can be made with chicken, beef, lamb, or even vegetarian.
- Grilled Chicken Pita Sandwich. Grilled chicken makes a great sandwich no matter how it's served. But stuff it into a pita along with some lettuce, spinach leaves, or a few grilled vegetables and top it with your favorite Middle Eastern sauce for the perfect taste.
- Toasted Pita Salad Bowl. Move over burrito bowls because the pita bowl is here. Crisp vegetables such as fresh baby spinach leaves, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion are combined with roasted chickpeas and a tahini dressing, then served in a baked pita bowl.
- Thanksgiving Leftovers Pita With Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce. Is the best part of Thanksgiving food the meal itself or the leftovers? Well, both of course but those leftovers are definitely important.
