GREEK SALAD PITAS WITH HUMMUS

Very light and yet filling at the same time. I just put these together the other day, so all of the ingredient amounts are approximate. You could add any number of things to the salad that you like (bell peppers, red onion, etc.). Also, my pitas were thin and large. If you use thicker and/or smaller pitas, obviously you won't fit as much in each portion. The hummus really adds character to these sandwiches (and also a little protein). Enjoy!

3 tablespoons hummus
1 whole wheat pita bread (large size, or use 2 small size)

Steps:
