Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 mini naan rounds (or 2 large naan cut into quarters)
Hummus Layer
- 1 cup hummus (plain or roasted garlic)
Greek Salad Topping
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Finishing Touches
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or dill, chopped
Instructions
- Toast the Naan: Lightly toast the naan rounds in a skillet over medium heat or place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until they are warmed through and slightly crisp around the edges. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare the Greek Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, chopped Kalamata olives, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently until all ingredients are well mixed and dressed evenly.
- Spread Hummus: Take each warmed naan round and spread a generous layer of hummus evenly on top, ensuring full coverage to create a creamy base for the toppings.
- Add Greek Salad Mixture: Spoon a generous amount of the prepared Greek salad mixture over the hummus on each naan round, distributing it evenly.
- Garnish: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley or dill over the salad-topped naan bites to add flavor and a fresh finish.
- Serve: Serve immediately as an appetizer or a light lunch to enjoy the contrast of warm naan with cool, fresh toppings.
Notes
- If mini naan is unavailable, use large naan cut into quarters for similar results.
- You can use either plain hummus or flavored hummus, like roasted garlic, depending on your preference.
- For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- These bites are best served fresh to retain the crispness of the naan and freshness of the salad.
- Feel free to customize the salad toppings by adding diced bell peppers or fresh mint for additional flavor.
