Step by step

Directions

  1. Warm the pita

    Warm all four pitas in the microwave for 15–20 seconds, just until flexible. Cut each in half crosswise and gently open the pockets to make eight halves.

  2. Add hummus

    Divide all the hummus among the eight pita halves, spreading 3 tablespoons inside each pocket.

  3. Fill

    Toss all the diced cucumber, grated carrot and sliced spinach with the ¼ teaspoon salt. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the eight pockets.

  4. Serve or pack

    Serve two filled pita halves per person. For packed lunches, wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.
