The Mediterranean way of eating is such an excellent and heart healthy diet to follow 24/7, but to me this meal just feels like summer. These stuffed pitas are so healthy and light… they make the perfect dinner for hot weather.
I used my very own ‘Garlicky’ Hummus recipe for this. It’s my go-to when I need my hummus fix, and I’m really starting to think I need that “fix” entirely way too much lately. But eh, whatevs. It’s delish!
I’m planning on making homemade pita chips with all the leftover pita bread. Soooo excited to eat them! I’ll get back to you know when I come up with a recipe I like for them.
