Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pita pockets

1 cup classic hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

1 medium carrot, grated

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup purple cabbage, shredded

¼ cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese or a sprinkle of za'atar for an extra flavor boost

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Begin by thoroughly washing all your vegetables. Once clean, thinly slice the cucumber, dice the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Grate the carrot and shred the cabbage, then set the prepared veggies aside on a plate.

    Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This bright dressing will enhance and elevate the flavors of your fresh vegetables.

      Assemble the Wraps: Gently open each whole wheat pita pocket, creating a spacious pocket for the fillings.

        Spread the Hummus: Take approximately ¼ cup of hummus and spread it evenly across the bottom of each pita pocket, ensuring a nice layer for the vegetables to adhere to.

          Add the Veggies: In the pita, artfully layer the sliced cucumber, grated carrot, diced bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cabbage, and chopped herbs. Feel free to arrange them in a colorful pattern to make the wraps visually appealing!

            Drizzle with Dressing: Lightly drizzle the prepared lemon dressing over the stuffed veggies. If you'd like an added flavor dimension, sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese or a dash of za'atar spice on top.

              Serve or Chill: The wraps can be enjoyed right away for a fresh crunch, or, if you prefer them chilled, wrap each pita in plastic wrap or foil and place them in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving.

                Cut and Enjoy: For easier handling, feel free to cut the pitas in half. Serve these vibrant wraps as a refreshing lunch or snack that’s packed full of flavor and crunch!
