Easy vegetarian sandwich ideas are always in high demand. And it doesn't get much easier than this recipe!
These hummus stuffed pita sandwiches are a perfect summer lunch. They're light and healthy while still being filling and satisfying.
If you've ever tried to wrap up a sandwich made on two slices of bread and then take it to the park, you know that things don't always stay where they're meant to. The pita pockets keep everything in place and give you plenty of room for your fresh veggies of choice.
My veggies of choice include a mix of spring lettuces, carrots, and thinly sliced radishes. It's easy to customize with your favorites or whatever you have on hand.

Top tips
How to thinly slice radishes
I use a mandolin (affiliate link) to get my radishes paper thin. You could also use a knife, but it is much more difficult.
How to shred carrots for sandwiches
Sometimes you can find packages of carrot shreds at the grocery store. If you prefer to shred your own, you could use the large holes of a box grater to create bite sized strands.
However, I prefer to use my Deiss peeler, which includes a side for creating long strands of vegetables. This makes for the freshest carrots possible.
How to store hummus and pita sandwiches
Leftovers can be kept wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing sandwiches.
Tips for customizing Greek pita sandwiches
- Add your favorite veggies such as cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers, or red onion
- Use a flavored hummus, such as roasted red pepper hummus or beetroot hummus
- If you don't have pitas, try naan, wraps, or sourdough bread
- Swap the spring mix for lettuce, spinach, or a handful of your favorite herbs such as parsley, dill, or sage
- Dress the greens with a squeeze of lemon juice
- Add black or Kalamata olives
FAQ

I received watermelon radishes in my CSA box this past year (CSA season runs Nov-May in Miami) which is something I never got in my Milwaukee CSA box, nor had I ever seen in Wisconsin, which is too bad because they're really good and such a pretty vegetable.
