September 01, 2026

Category: Lunchbox Ideas  |  Ready in 8 minutes  |  Serves 1 adult or 2 kids  |  Naturally gluten-free

What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 1/3 cup muhammara (jarred or homemade)
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 4 mint leaves, torn

How to Make It

  1. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  2. Spread the muhammara thickly over one arepa.
  3. Layer the cucumber, feta and mint on top.
  4. Close with the second arepa and press gently.
  5. Wrap in paper; the thick spread holds it together and it's good at room temperature.

About This Recipe

Muhammara comes from Aleppo, Syria — roasted red peppers and walnuts blended with pomegranate molasses into a sweet-smoky, slightly spicy spread. It's a mezze staple and makes a sturdy sandwich base.
