Why You’ll Love These Refreshing Greek-Inspired Bites
- Easy to make – These cute little bites are quick and easy to make. The Greek salad just requires a little bit of chopping, and the naan bread cooks up in minutes. Prep the salad ahead of time, and they will come together in no time.
- Fun to eat – I don’t know about you, but I love small finger-sized appetizers. They’re easy to eat a lot of, which in this case isn’t a bad thing because they’re loaded with veggies.
- Great for summer – I love eating fresh veggies all summer long, and this recipe really highlights them. The oil and vinegar allow the flavor of the vegetables to shine, and you can use any flavor of hummus you like.
Greek Salad Naan Bite Recipe Ingredients
- Naan Bread – I used a box of mini naan dippers that I bought at the grocery store. You can use any kind of mini naan and pita bites you prefer. You could also take a regular piece of naan bread and cut it into smaller pieces if needed. For this recipe, I like to pan-fry my naan bread to give it a little extra texture and flavor.
- Hummus – You can use any kind of hummus for this recipe, including homemade or store-bought. I used garlic and roasted red pepper flavors, and they worked great. These days there are lots of different flavors out there, so just make sure to use one that will go with the flavors of the vegetables.
- Greek Salad – The Greek salad is quick to throw together and only uses a handful of ingredients, including cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, red onion, and kalamata olives. You’re more than welcome to add extra veggies, or even feta cheese, if you like.
How To Make Greek Salad Naan Bites with Hummus
- Prepare the Greek salad. I like to chop my veggies very small for this recipe since the naan bread is small, but you can do larger sized if you prefer. Add all diced vegetables to a medium-sized bowl. Next, add the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix everything together until completely combined and set aside until ready to use.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and coat the bottom with olive oil, about 1 1/2 Tablespoons. Once the pan is hot, add the naan bread in a single layer on the bottom. Allow the first side to cook until starting to brown, 1-2 minutes, and then flip over. Cook for another 30 seconds, and then drizzle about 1 Tablespoon of soy sauce over the naan bread. Let cook for about 30 seconds, flip the naan bread over one last time, and let cook another 30 seconds.
- Lay naan bread out on a flat cutting board or serving platter. Spread about 2 teaspoons of hummus onto the top of each one and then spoon over about 1 Tablespoon of the Greek salad. arnish with chopped fresh herbs, if desired, and serve right away.
Recipe Frequently Asked Questions
- To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free naan or pita bread. If you can’t find anything else, you could also use regular gluten-free sandwich bread that you cut into four pieces.
- Make this recipe vegan by using vegan naan bread. The one I used does have milk in it, so just make sure to find one that has vegan ingredients. The rest of the recipe is vegan.
- How many servings does this recipe make? This recipe makes about 20 little naan bites. Two-4 bites can be a serving, depending on whether you are serving for lunch or an appetizer.
- Can these Greek salad bites be made ahead of time? I recommend preparing the Greek salad up to 2 days in advance. The naan bread is best when freshly cooked, but it will still taste great if it’s made a few hours in advance. Just try to store it in a way that won’t make it soggy.
- How long do leftovers last? If stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, leftovers should last about 4 days. The naan bread may get soggy with the hummus and veggies, but everything should still taste good!
