Spread
- 1 cup hummus (plain or roasted garlic)
Greek Salad Topping
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 cucumber, diced

Garnish
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
- Toast the Naan: Lightly toast the naan rounds in a skillet over medium heat or in a preheated oven until warmed through and slightly crisp on the edges. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Greek Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the quartered cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, chopped Kalamata olives, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine all the flavors.
- Spread Hummus: Take each toasted naan round and spread a generous layer of hummus evenly over the surface, serving as a creamy base.

- Garnish: Sprinkle each naan bite with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley or dill for a burst of flavor and color.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a flavorful appetizer or light lunch, enjoying the contrast of warm naan, creamy hummus, and crisp, fresh salad.
Notes
- For extra crispness, you can finish toasting the naan bites under a broiler for 1-2 minutes after assembling.
- Roasted garlic hummus adds a nice depth of flavor to the spread if preferred over plain hummus.
- Feel free to substitute fresh herbs with oregano or mint based on your taste.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh as the naan can become soggy if left too long after assembling.
- Use gluten-free naan if needed to accommodate dietary restrictions.
