Steps:
- Place the Feta, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper in a small food processor and process until fairly smooth.
- Add the extra virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream while continuing to pulse (you may need more or less olive oil, depending on the consistency you desire). Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour. Bring to room temperature, stir again and serve.
- Gather all the toppings to assemble the Greek pita appetizers.
- Lightly toast the pita bread, cut into wedges, and set aside.
- Spread some whipped Feta cheese spread on each pita.
- For the salmon-topped pita wedges. Using a vegetable peeler, cut a baby cucumber into ribbons and then slice a few baby radishes with a very sharp knife. Place on the pita wedges. Top with thin slices of smoked salmon, a few fresh dill sprigs, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- For the tomato and cucumber-topped pita wedges. In a small bowl, toss a few heirloom cherry tomato halves, baby cucumber slices, chopped Kalamata olives, sliced shallots, olive oil and oregano. Top the pita wedges with the mixture and sprinkle with some sea salt.
- For the radish and edamame-topped pita wedges. Slice a couple of baby radishes very thinly and place them on the pita wedges. Top with cooked edamame, minced red onion, a sprinkle of sea salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Tips:
- Choose the right pita bread: Use fresh, high-quality pita bread for the best results. You can find pita bread at most grocery stores.
- Cut the pita bread into even slices: This will help the pita chips to cook evenly.
- Brush the pita bread with olive oil: This will help the pita chips to become crispy.
- Season the pita chips with your favorite seasonings: You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
- Bake the pita chips until they are crispy: Keep an eye on the pita chips while they are baking to make sure they don't burn.
- Serve the pita chips with your favorite dip: Pita chips are a great snack or appetizer to serve with dips, such as hummus, guacamole, or salsa.
