Recipe of the Week: Cucumber Hummus Pita!

Attention hungry Street Teamers—I introduce: the Cucumber Hummus Pita!

This pita was my absolute FAVE lunch to pack in college. It’s super easy to make, healthy (?important), and delicious—like all Middle Eastern food! It’s also cheap, so it’s a great lunch for those of you who pay for your own food, or those of you who are careful with your parents’ money.

You can add vegan meats or falafel to this, but they aren’t necessary—this pita is bangin’ without ‘em. :)

Cucumber Hummus Pita

1 pita

2-3 tablespoons hummus

1/2 of a medium-sized cucumber

  • Chop up the cucumber (You can peel it if you want to—but if you don’t, be sure to scrub it under water so that it doesn’t feel waxy.)
  • Cut the pita in half, so that you have a half-moon shaped pocket
  • Spoon the hummus into the pita
  • Add cucumbers

Makes 1 serving

If you’re taking this tasty lil’ momma to school, be sure to keep the pita separate from the cucumbers and hummus until you’re ready to eat. Nobody likes a soggy pita.

Enjoy!

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
