For this week’s Blogging Marathon, the theme is “Rolls and Wraps.” I got this recipe from my colleague. It’s a simple salad recipe, and you can prepare it under 30 minutes. It is very filling and at the same time delicious too. Yes, salads are delicious when we use the right ingredients and right dressings.
What’s in the Salad?
For this recipe, I used cooked garbanzo beans, some mixed salad greens, cucumber, olives, tomatoes, onions, hummus and some mozzarella cheese. I know feta cheese goes well with this, but as its hard to source the rennet-free one, I go with the cheddar or mozzarella. I love the flavors of balsamic vinegar, and that’s what I am using for this salad too. Oil + balsamic vinegar + salt and pepper. Mix and drizzle. The dressing is as simple as that.
You can use the store bought Pita bread or homemade ones as well. You can find the Zaatar Pita Bread recipe and Rotimatic Pita Bread recipe on my blog.
How do I pack this for work?
I take the greens, salad, pita pockets and hummus separately. I take the dressing with added salt and pepper separately. Before lunch, I just spread the hummus in the pita pocket and mix the required salad with dressing. You can add avocado to make it healthier. This salad measure serves four people. Now here is the pita pocket salad recipe, Ingredients:
For Filling: Mixed greens – a handful English Cucumber – 1 (chopped, approx 2 cups) Roma Tomato – 1 (approx, ¾ cup) Olives – 5 (cut) Cooked Garbanzo beans – 1.5 cups Onion – chopped, ¼ cup Dressing: Olive oil – 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar – 1.5 tbsp Salt – ¾ tsp Pepper – 1 tsp For Wrap: Pita Bread – 4 Hummus – 4 tbsp (1 tbsp for each bread)
Steps:
Chop the cucumber, tomatoes, and olives and mix it with the garbanzo beans.
Add the greens, cheese, and the dressing
Spread the hummus inside the pita pocket. Now fill in the pita pocket with the salad and enjoy.
Notes:
Feta cheese goes well with this salad, but you can opt for your favorite one. You can include grilled veggies of your choice. Adjust the dressing proportions according to your preference.
