Ingredients
You will need (for four):
- Pitta breads £0.50
For the hummus:
- 1 can chickpeas £0.65
- 1 garlic clove £0.03
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil £0.10
- 1 tsp peanut butter £0.10
- Salt and pepper £0.10
For the Greek salad:
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced £0.30
- 3-4 tomatoes, sliced £0.50
- 1 small onion, sliced £0.10
- 1 small lettuce, chopped £0.40
- 1 pack mixed olives and feta £2.20
- 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil £0.10
- 1 tsp dried oregano £0.05
Total £5.13
Method
Start by adding all the ingredients for the hummus to a food processor and blending until smooth. If the hummus is a little thick you can add a little extra oil or a small amount of hot water.
Mix all the ingredients for the salad together, except the olives, then top with the olive and feta mix.
Heat up the pitta breads according to packet instructions.
Pour a little extra virgin olive oil over the salad and sprinkle over the chopped oregano and a little salt and pepper.
Perfect for a warm evening and with so many flavours and textures I think the salad itself is really filling. To keep everyone happy the pitta bread and hummus adds extra filling potential. If you’re extra clever (which I’m not) then make double and have it for lunch the next day. Anything that minimises effort, tastes good and doesn’t take too long is fine by me!

Sound familiar. Don’t know what to cook happens to me all the time. Nice humus and that peanut butter in it, something new to me. Shall keep in mind for the next round of humus to be made.
I can eat this kind of meal every single day! Good food doesn’t have to be expensive at all.
i know i will enjoy this kind of meal too and your hummus sounds great with peanut butter!
Looks like the perfect lunch for me,both healthy and cost saving!
I feel the same way about summer cooking. Your idea looks perfectly delicious!
