What is a pita salad wrap?

Pita bread is a round flatbread leavened with yeast made with wheat flour. It has popular variations across the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries.

A pita wrap is when you fill the pita with your favorite ingredients and roll it up to eat it. Pita wraps can be filled with chicken or meat, like the ever-so-famous shawarma wraps, or other vegetarian choices.

A pita salad wrap is exactly as it’s named! It’s a pita wrap stuffed with a salad. This type of wrap was originally made popular by Greek Salad wraps, usually made on Naan bread. Naan is a bit similar to pita but is a little more tender and moist than pita which is a more dry bread. Also, it’s important to note they vary greatly in nutritional value.

Pita bread is perfect for wrapping because it holds the salad or any other ingredients inside it quite well. It’s also a common practice to warm the bread over an open fire (over the heat of the stove burner) for 3-5 seconds on each side before wrapping. This makes the pita soft for a minute so you can add your ingredients and wrap it. Then, as it cools it becomes crisp and crunchy!

It’s amazing, but don’t take my word for it: try it out yourself!
