Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 mini naan rounds (or 2 large cut into quarters)
- 1 cup hummus (plain or roasted garlic)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Toast the Naan: Lightly toast the mini naan rounds in a skillet or oven until they are warmed through and slightly crisp on the edges. This adds a pleasant crunch and warmth for the toppings.
- Prepare the Greek Salad: In a bowl, combine the quartered cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, chopped Kalamata olives, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to evenly coat and meld the flavors.
- Spread Hummus: Take each toasted naan round and spread a generous layer of hummus over the top to act as a creamy base for the salad.
- Add Greek Salad Mixture: Spoon a good portion of the prepared Greek salad mixture evenly over the hummus-covered naan rounds, making sure to distribute the colorful veggies and olives.
- Top with Feta and Herbs: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of each naan bite, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley or dill for added freshness and aroma.
- Serve Immediately: Serve these naan bites right away as a delightful appetizer or a light lunch to enjoy fresh flavors and textures.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can use roasted garlic hummus instead of plain hummus.
- Mini naan rounds are ideal for bite-sized snacks, but if unavailable, use larger naan cut into smaller pieces.
- To keep the naan crisp, assemble just before serving.
- This recipe is vegetarian-friendly and can be made vegan by omitting the feta cheese or using a vegan cheese alternative.
- Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice to the Greek salad dressing for a brighter taste.
