Question: Do you still have some hard-boiled eggs left over from Easter?
If you do, I have one more great salad to use them in. It’s a Middle Eastern Pita Salad that uses a hummus-based dressing and lots of yummy ingredients, including salad greens, tomatoes, pita chips, cucumber, red onion, and, of course, hard-boiled eggs.
What makes a great Middle Eastern Pita Salad?
Here’s a little snapshot of what makes a delicious Middle Eastern Pita salad…
- Pita chips
- Hummus dressing (ingredients are in the recipe)
- Tomatoes
- Red onion
- Feta cheese
- Cucumber
- Hard-boiled eggs
About the hummus.
I just used classic hummus from Aldi (Little Salad Bar brand) when I made this salad, but any classic or traditional hummus will work.
About the pita chips.
The pita chips I used are the Athenos brand. These things are PERFECT. I just broke up some of the chips and added them to the salad. They are really crunchy so the texture is similar to adding small croutons to a salad. I used 16 chips, which was about 3/4 cup.
BONUS: If you are looking for a quick snack, these pita chips can be dipped in the leftover hummus.
Looking for another great salad with hard-boiled eggs?
I just recently shared a really easy (and delicious) Cobb salad recipe if you are looking for another salad that uses hard-boiled eggs. The Cobb salad is also just 6 green, 5 blue, and 5 purple MyWW points per serving. Check out the Cobb Salad recipe here.
