# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes with barely any cooking involved—perfect when you want something wholesome without the fuss.
  • Every bite feels substantial and satisfying, like you're actually nourishing yourself instead of just eating.
  • There's built-in flexibility to use whatever vegetables are in your crisper drawer, so it never feels repetitive.
02 -
  • The order of assembly matters less than the pita being warm and the dressing being fresh—both of those things make an enormous difference in how the whole thing tastes and feels.
  • Don't skip draining and rinsing the canned chickpeas; that extra minute removes the thick liquid that would make the bowl feel heavy.
03 -
  • Make the dressing in the bottom of the bowl you'll serve from—one less thing to wash and the flavors distribute as you toss.
  • Toast your pita in a skillet instead of the toaster oven if you want it slightly charred and more flavorful—that little bit of caramelization changes everything.
