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.
