These Greek Nachos are a healthier Greek twist on traditional nachos. They are made with whole wheat pita chips, hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes and feta.
This is super easy to make, great as a snack or even a light vegetarian lunch.
Recipe is from the paperback book Snack Girl To The Rescue: Easy, Delicious Food for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. This is a weight loss book with recipes, and although there are no photos, Lisa gives practical advice on getting healthy along with a bit of humor. The book has 100 recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but I thought I would try one of her snacks, because after all, she’s Snack Girl, right?
Greek Nacho Variations
- Add some Kalamata olives, red onion or bell peppers.
- For more protein, some chopped grilled chicken or pine nuts would be great.

This looks amazing (and yes, I'd add the olives 🙂 Will have to try it next time I can find pita bread (it's not as easy to find here in Bangkok as you might think, as weird as that sounds!)
Lovely blog, btw.
So simple yet brilliant.
I need these! Wish I had seen this before I went to the store…but I may have to go back tomorrow 🙂
Looks so good, I might add some sliced green onions and olives.
I often have hummus for pita for lunch – I love the idea of making it into nachos for a fun little twist! I also love the idea of adding olives and peppers – even more YUM!
thanks for the nail color!!
Dill added to the tomato/cucumber/feta mixture will make this perfect.
CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE THESE!!!!!
Tomatoes while roasting brings out a nice flavor
Suppose you could add some chicken or lamb souvlaki meat to make it
a bit heartier??
sure!
Great idea will definitely try it!
