Hummus. Cucumbers. Pita Bread. There is nothing else like it. I almost cried I was so happy when I saw the baby cucumbers at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market a few weeks ago and I've been buying them weekly ever since. I could eat this sandwich every day.
Hummus
Cucumbers - rinsed and thinly sliced
Pita Bread
Spinach -rinsed, spun dry, and chopped
Mushrooms -rinsed and thinly sliced
Red Bell peppers - rinsed and thinly sliced
You can make the hummus yourself or use store bought. Just halve the pita (you could toast it a bit if you like), spread hummus on either side, and layer thinly sliced cucumbers in the middle. You could switch it up a bit by adding a combination of spinach, mushrooms and red bell peppers.
Hummus:
1 14 oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/3 cup water
splash lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 tbsp tahini
3-4 tbsp olive oil
In a food processor, blend the salt, olive oil, and garlic. Add the chickpeas and blend. Add the lemon juice and tahini and blend. Add the water a little bit at a time (you may not need it all or you may need a little more than 1/3 cup) until your hummus looks spreadable but not too fluffy. Refrigerate for a couple hours before using.
