Description

If you’re craving something easy and fresh, you’ve got to make these Greek Salad Lettuce Wraps with Hummus! They’re packed with vegetables and protein and are perfect for a light lunch or snack that will leave you feeling full and happy. Make the Greek salad ahead of time and you can have fresh lettuce wraps all week long.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 cup diced tomato
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper (I used 1/2 cup red and 1/2 cup yellow because I had them both on hand)
  • 1/2 cup chopped, pitted kalamata olives
  • 1/2 diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or a mix of different fresh herbs, like: dill, oregano, basil, mint)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (if not adding fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lettuce wraps, romaine or butter lettuce works well – 1 head of lettuce should be enough
  • Hummus – 1/2 cup – 1 cup, depending on how much hummus you like

Crispy Chickpeas

  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed, drained and patted dry
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare you Greek salad.  For this recipe, I like to cut my vegetables into pretty small, bite size pieces.  It makes it easier to spoon them onto the lettuce wraps.  You can, however, chop them any size you like.  Add your diced cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, kalamata olives, feta cheese and onion to a large bowl.
  2. Next, add in the fresh herbs, garlic, dried oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper.  Mix everything together until well combined, give it a taste and add extra salt and pepper, if needed.  Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  3. Prepare you chickpeas.  Heat a large pan over medium heat.  Add olive oil, chickpeas, paprika, garlic powder and salt.  Mix together well and let chickpeas cook until warm and crispy, 5-7 minutes.
  4. Prepare you lettuce wraps.  Carefully break apart your lettuce wraps from the head of lettuce.  Lay them down on a plate, or cutting board, and spread each one with about 1-2 tablespoons of hummus.  Next, top with a few spoonfuls of the Greek salad and then add a few spoonfuls of the crispy chickpeas on top.  Best when enjoyed immediately, as the lettuce can wilt over time!

Notes

You can make these lettuce wraps as large or small as you like.  If making them for lunch, you can use a large lettuce leaf, and a few smaller leaves can be used.  How large your lettuce wraps are will dictate how much of the greek salad, hummus and chickpeas you add to each one.
