Easy Greek Pita Appetizers To Make This Spring image

Delicious appetizers for brunch or dinner with whipped feta cheese spread, toasted pita wedges and an assortment of toppings.

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Spring Appetizers

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the Whipped Feta Cheese Spread
8 oz. Greek Feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 TBSP. apple cider (or red wine) vinegar
½ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper
3-4 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
For the Toasted Pita Bread
3-4 pieces good quality Greek pita bread (I used Zea Greek pita)
For the toppings
Smoked salmon, cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, olives, capers, fresh dill, red onions, or your favorite toppings.

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.

Conclusion:

Pita tree appetizers are a delicious and easy way to add a festive touch to your next party or gathering. They are also a great way to use up leftover pita bread. With so many different variations to choose from, you are sure to find a pita tree appetizer that everyone will love.
