Thanks! My b'day was a while ago, just haven't seen my parents since, so they brought it along.

This was a WONDERFUL, FLAVORFUL snack/appetizer. I made spicy hummus so the cucumbers & tomatoes add a smooth, cooling element as well as fantastic flavor. Will have a hard time having "just" hummus from now on!

Everyone should try this! So healthy & filling & tasty!

Thanks again!

Thanks for the recipe. I put it on a tortilla wrap. Very pretty when cut in several pieces! Great recipe.

We made this again yesterday & I just NOW realized it's supposed to have feta on it!!

We snarfed down almost a whole double recipe of spicy hummus with the cucumbers & tomatoes yesterday but the little bit that was left over, we tucked into pita pockets today with some spinach, roasted red peppers, & grilled chicken breasts. DEE-LISH!!!! Will be even better with feta next time!
