1 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 standard sized pitas (any kind, white or wheat)
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1/3-1/2 cup Hummus (Any flavor or homemade)
  • 1/2 c. Plain yogurt (I like nonfat, but of course you could use FAGE 2%...yummo)
  • 2 T. Olive oil
  • 1 T. lemon juice
  • Salt, pepper, dash of cumin, hot pepper flakes, chopped fresh mint

Directions

  1. 1
    {"0":"1. Tear the pitas apart into quarters and toast in the toaster (or regular) over until crispy - about 5 minutes.","1":"2. While pitas are toasting, make the tomato\/cucumber salad: Roughly chop tomatoes and cucumbers (seed or not, but I usually peel) & place in bowl. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, a dash of cumin (optional) and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss and let sit for 5 minutes to allow juices to come out.","2":"3. Allow toasted pita to cool slightly and break apart into bite size pieces on a large dinner plate.","3":"4. Top with dollops of the hummus.","4":"5. Top with tomato\/cucumber salad, including the juices (they wet the pita!).","5":"6. Let sit for about 1-2 minutes.","6":"7. Top with several dollops of plain yogurt, and garnish with mint. Sprinkle with hot pepper flakes to taste.","7":"8. Gently toss the entire mess until lightly coated. The salad doesn't have to be fully mixed...you can even eat it in layers.","9":"Most people would say this serves 2 people. I happily eat the whole thing."}
