Do I have to use pita bread?

No. You can use wraps, flatbread, naan or sturdy sandwich bread instead of pita.

What goes well with pita and hummus?

Fresh vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber work really well with hummus and pita. Crispy bacon, grilled chicken, falafel or avocado are also delicious additions.

Can I make a hummus pita ahead of time?

You can prepare the ingredients ahead of time, but it’s best to assemble the pita just before serving. This keeps the lettuce crisp and prevents the pita from becoming soggy.

What can I use instead of bacon?

For a different protein, try shredded chicken, grilled chicken, falafel or sliced beef. For a vegetarian hummus pita, simply leave out the bacon and add extra vegetables or avocado.
