Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/8 + 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (more if you like things super garlicky)
  • 1 cucumber (about 8 ounces), peeled, seeded, and shredded
  • 6 whole-wheat pitas, halved
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans organic chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 cups loosely packed arugula
  • 12 (1/4-inch-thick) tomato slices
  • 2 tsp + 1 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • The Directions
  • Step 1: Shred cucumber. Combine yogurt, mint, lime juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, garlic, and cucumber in a small bowl, set aside.
  • Step 3: Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, chickpeas, cumin, paprika, and red pepper in a medium bowl; toss well to coat.
  • Step 5: Fill each pita half with about 2/3 cup chickpea mixture, a couple tomato slices, and 2 tablespoons sauce. Serve immediately.
  • Another tip: warm the pitas before assembly – it will make them super soft and fluffy, perfect for serving.
  • I hope you enjoy this meal as much as we did!
