    This recipe is a great fridge cleaner-outer. I had some chickpeas, a head of baby lettuce and a bunch of rando vegetables, including the last of this season’s heirloom tomatoes from my urban garden languishing in my fridge, just begging to be eaten.

    I had all the makings for my Mediterranean chickpea salad minus the pasta so decided to put it all together in a delicious pita sandwich.

    Generally speaking I make my own pita bread. This is more out of necessity of not being able to buy proper pita bread where I live but it turns out that pita bread is really easy to make.

    The downside is that it takes a bit of time. I used this pita pocket bread recipe and it requires the dough to rise twice for 30 minutes each. The upside is that when you make them at home each pita pocket costs just pennies each.

    Fortunately, pita bread freezes well so you can take a few hours on the weekend to make a big batch and toss them in the freezer for another day.

    It’s possible to cut the pita pockets open and stuff them with the filling but the bread it quite delicate and can tear if you’re not careful.

    The easy and lazy way to make this Mediterranean chickpea salad pita sandwich is to simply pile the salad down the middle of the bread and fold it up.

    Of course that also makes it easier to pack yourself a pita sandwich for lunch at work. Just throw the salad and the pita bread in separate containers to keep the bread from getting soggy and take your lunch wherever you need to go.
