Ingredients:
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 t. freshly squeezed lemon juice *
1/2 - 1/4 t. salt, depending on taste **
1/8 t. cracked black pepper
2 medium roma tomatoes, diced ***
1 cucumber, peeled and diced ****
1/4 c. red onion, thinly sliced *****
1 c. hummus
* I was totally not paying attention and put in lime juice rather than lemon.
** I did just under 1/4 t.
*** I used about 12 grape tomatoes
**** I used half of a large cucumber
*****Completely spaced getting some red onion so I just used dried chopped onion
Recipe:
1. In a medium bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add in tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion, toss to coat.
2. Open each pita pocket carefully and spread 1/4 c. hummus in each pocket and stuff in some of the cucumber mixture using a slotted spoon. Serve any remaining cucumber and tomato salad on the side.

I would, by myself, actually rate this a little higher, but I don't think that LaDon would. Loved the garlicky hummus with the salad. Felt so light and fresh together. I'm sure lemon juice would be delicious, but I loved the lime in there! I actually liked it so much the way I made it, I don't think I'll add red onion in next time.
