To assemble the dish, first gather and prepare your mise en place. Grill or heat Pita Bread. Once done, spread a generous amount of hummus onto each piece of pita. Top with diced tomatoes, cucumber, olives, optional onion and optional avocado. Drizzle with the balsamic vinaigrette and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Absolutely delicious with the homemade pita bread. This was pretty simple, and very good. Do plan for the kneading and rising of the dough. I kneaded the full 7 minutes with a fairly stiff dough, and also substituted half whole wheat flour, which worked just fine. I used everything else in the recipe including the dressing.
