Directions
1.
For salad, peel cucumbers, if desired. Chop cucumbers and tomatoes; toss together with parsley, vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Cover and chill.
2.
Wrap pita rounds in foil and heat in a 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes or until warm.
3.
Meanwhile, to make hummus, in a food processor bowl combine chickpeas, tahini, and garlic. Add olive oil, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover and process until smooth, adding enough water until hummus is same consistency as thick oatmeal.
4.
Cut warm pita rounds into wedges. Spoon hummus onto plates and sprinkle with red pepper. Serve with cucumber and tomato salad. Makes 6 servings.
Note
Tahini, a puree of sesame seeds, can be found in large supermarkets, Middle Eastern markets, or other specialty food stores.
