Preparation Steps
1
Wash the vegetables thoroughly. Thinly slice the cucumber and tomatoes, and cut the bell pepper into strips.

3
Warm the pita breads lightly in a dry skillet or oven until they are soft and pliable.

Generously spread hummus on the warm pitas. This will be the base for the toppings.
