It’s Spring break week here and we’re sticking pretty close to home which I’m totally fine with. Spring time is one my more favorite times of year. I don’t care for the allergies that come along with it, but I do enjoy the brighter lighting of the sun, the blooming trees and flowers, and also the berries that start to pop up. With Spring rolling in, I always like to lighten and brighten things up myself, and that’s where this Marinated Chickpea Pita comes in.

This Marinated Chickpea Pita is light, and bright, and full of flavor. Being as this is made with mostly whole ingredients and seasonings, there isn’t much to do here to make it much better-for-you. Though I did go with a wheat pita in place of a regular one.

All the veggies and seasonings in here really make the Marinated Chickpeas amazing. This is probably one of my new favorite lunches though you could always use it as a part of dinner too. Originally I considered adding some feta cheese, but in the end I found that it wasn’t needed here.

The Marinated Chickpeas are good being stored in the fridge if you want to have it on hand as a handy meal prep for your lunch. Just wait to load the chickpea mixture or the hummus onto the pita until you’re ready to enjoy.
