Ingredients
For the Pita Base
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread Choose large pitas for a better base.
For the Toppings
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes Halved.
- 1 cup cucumber Diced.
- 1 cup red onion Thinly sliced.
- 1 cup feta cheese Crumbled.
- 1 cup kalamata olives Pitted and halved.
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano For seasoning.
For the Tzatziki Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt Use full-fat for creaminess.
- 1 small cucumber Grated and excess water squeezed out.
- 2 cloves garlic Minced.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil Extra virgin for best flavor.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice Freshly squeezed.
- 1 teaspoon dried dill Optional, for extra flavor.
Method
Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and dried dill (if using). Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. This sauce adds a refreshing flavor to the pizzas.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Prepare the Pita Pizzas
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the pitas will crisp up nicely.
- On a baking sheet, lay out the whole wheat pita breads. These will serve as the base for your pizzas.
- Evenly distribute the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and halved kalamata olives over each pita. Sprinkle dried oregano on top for added flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the pita are crispy and the cheese is slightly melted.
Serve
- Remove the pita pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm with a generous dollop of the tzatziki sauce on top or on the side for dipping.
