Ingredients
For assembling pita bread with hummus and apples
- 8 mini pita breads or one large pita bread
- 1 Cosmic Crisp apple
- 1 Lebanese cucumber
- ½ cup microgreens of your choice I used radish sprouts and snow pea sprouts
- 1 cup garlic hummus recipe below, or your choice of hummus
For garlic hummus:
- 1 can of chickpeas
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ lemon
- ¼ cup Tahini
- 2 TBs olive oil
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Slice the cucumber into long, diagonal slices. Slice the apples. Rinse the microgreens.
- Set up the food processor or high powered blender.
Make hummus
- To make my garlic hummus, add 1 can of chickpeas and 2 cloves of garlic to food processor and pulse until well processed.
- Add tahini, lemon juice, salt and cumin, and process until well combined, about 5 minutes. Slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Check texture - if it's smooth and silky, omit water - but I usually add about ¼ cup to really get the texture I like.
- Process another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust flavours.
Assemble the pita bread with hummus and apples
- Arrange your mini pitas or large pita on a plate or cutting board. Smear a generous amount of hummus - 2 TBs for a mini pita, or much more than that for a large pita bread.
- Top with cucumber, apples, and microgreens, in that order. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Finally, top with another slice of apple, for looks.
