Make sure you add Parmesan cheese to your green beans. Also, the right amount of black pepper and garlic powder helps enhance the overall flavor.

6.  Buffalo Chicken Dip

Gyros can get very meaty at times. So, to overcome the flavor, you can also serve the wrap with a buffalo chicken dip. This dip is rich in protein and quite flavorful. It tastes like garlic and butter, which helps the dip stand out.

Serve them together and experience a burst of different flavors in your mouth.

7. Hummus

On the seventh spot, we have everyone's favorite hummus. Hummus is made from chickpeas and some selected spices and herbs to give the paste its unique flavor.

You can add hummus to your wrap or serve it separately with gyros. Ensure the consistency of your hummus is as thick as mentioned in the recipe card and is perfectly suited to serve as a side dish for a crowd.

Hummus is good for adults and kids as it is packed with healthy proteins.

8. Fried Shrimp

With many people coming to your home for food, it may get hard to decide on the dishes to serve. However, don't worry. If you plan to make gyros, serve them with fried shrimp that work, as good as French fries.

The shrimp are crispy, tender, and juicy, perfect for elevating anyone's food experience. Serve both dishes with a sauce, and grab all the praise.

We have shared an easy recipe for the best tomato soup. You can also add basil to the rest of the ingredients and enhance the quality of the dish.

11. Greek Salad

Gyros can be served with a healthy bowl of Greek salad. Since gyros lack refreshing vegetables, serving the wrap with a light salad featuring a summer dressing makes sense.

To make the best Greek salad, you need cucumbers, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and red onion. Make a dressing using olive oil, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper.

12. Greek Fries

What makes Greek fries better than normal fries? The former fries feature an excellent topping containing herbs, onions, and feta cheese. These ingredients make the fries more tasty and appetizing.

13. Tomato Fritters

These tomato fritters are so delicious you will be tempted to make them repeatedly. They are crispy with a saucy flavor that perfectly complements your pita wrap.

Since this recipe requires you to add oregano and chili sauce, the fritters may turn spicy. You can eliminate the sauce from your recipe if you plan to make these fritters for your kids.

14. Briam

This is a traditional Greek dish featuring roasted vegetables. The recipe uses parsley, garlic, and Greek spices to enhance the flavor of vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini, onions, and potatoes.

Briam serves as an excellent side dish with gyros. Make a big portion of this dish, as it finished pretty quickly.
