Zucchini, Avocado, and Pomegranate Salsa

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6; makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

2 zucchini (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3 whole-wheat pitas (6 inches each)
Olive oil cooking spray

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss zucchini with oil, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Spread zucchini in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing once, until tender and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let zucchini cool completely. (Leave oven on.)

    Step 2

    Transfer zucchini to a medium bowl. Add onion, avocado, pomegranate seeds, feta, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; gently stir to combine. Refrigerate 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).

    Step 3

    Cut pitas in half; split each half into 2 half-moons, and cut each half-moon into 3 triangles. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat both sides with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bake, flipping once, until pale golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve with salsa. The pitas can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
