Ingredients

Let’s build some Mediterranean magic with these easy ingredients:

• Mini Naan Breads: Soft, chewy, and the perfect bite-sized base
• Hummus: Classic, roasted red pepper, or garlic—go with your fave!
• Cherry Tomatoes: Juicy pops of sweetness and color
• Cucumber: Cool and crisp, adds crunch and freshness
• Red Onion: Thinly sliced for a bit of sharpness and zing
• Kalamata Olives: Briny, salty goodness (you can chop or slice them)
• Feta Cheese: Crumbled for tangy, creamy texture
• Fresh Parsley: For a herby finish and a pop of green
• Olive Oil: Just a drizzle to tie it all together
• Lemon Juice: Adds brightness and balances the flavors
• Salt & Pepper: Season to taste

Instructions

Here’s how to assemble these vibrant little bites of joy:

Step 1: Warm the Naan

Lightly toast or warm the mini naan breads in the oven or skillet for 2–3 minutes until soft and slightly golden. This gives you that warm, bakery-fresh base.

Step 2: Spread the Hummus

Generously spread a layer of hummus on each naan round. This is your creamy, flavorful foundation—don’t be shy!

Step 3: Prep the Toppings

In a small bowl, toss together the chopped cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and crumbled feta. Add a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Give it all a gentle mix.

Step 4: Assemble the Bites

Spoon a little of the salad mixture on top of each hummus-covered naan. Don’t overload—just enough to cover the surface without spilling over.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Optional: drizzle with a little more olive oil or a dash of za’atar for a finishing touch.
