Ingredients
  

  • 4 pita breads or flatbreads
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • fresh arugula or spinach, to taste
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • fresh parsley, for garnish

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • blender or food processor
  • mixing spoon
  • knife
  • cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush each pita bread lightly with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the seasoned pitas on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes until warm and lightly crisp around the edges.
  3. While the pitas bake, combine the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic cloves, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of black pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Remove the warm pitas from the oven. Spread a generous, even layer of the whipped garlic feta over each flatbread.
  5. Top each flatbread with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, kalamata olives, and a handful of fresh arugula or spinach.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, slice into pieces, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use block feta packed in brine for the creamiest whipped feta texture. Let the feta come to room temperature before blending for smoother results. Thinly slice and soak the red onion in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow the flavor. Store whipped feta separately in the fridge for up to 5 days. Assemble flatbreads fresh before serving for the best texture.
