So here is the line up:

• Hummus, premade
• Taziki cucumber dill sauce, premade
• Falafels and pitas freezer ready from trips to the city farmers market
• Kalamata olives
• Sesame seeds
• Olive oil
• Paprika
• Feta
• Pine nuts
• Tomato
• Red onion
• Cucumber

But feel free to add what makes you happy. For me, it’s falafels in case you were wondering.

Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Cut pitas in wedges. Brush olive oil on pitas, I used two. Sprinkle coarse salt and sesame seeds. I throw on the pan a few (5) but who’s counting falafels. Bake for 10 minutes.

While in the oven I chop up a few grape tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion. I put hummus in a ziplock baggie and do the same for the cucumber dill sauce. We are fancy here so we can snip and drizzle. We are worth the extra attention who wants globs right? Spread the love into every bite I say!

Remove pitas and falafels out of the oven. Slice falafels and arrange on top of pita chips. Generously sprinkle your tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions.

Drizzle both hummus and cucumber dill sauce, throw in your design abilities and get squiggly. Nestle in some olives then toss in pine nuts and feta. Did I forget anything? Yes, I sprinkled some paprika for good measure.

Hold the bus! I think this would be a fantastic FAST throw together for friends. Just think the day before you’ve chopped, prepped the bags of hummus and sauce. You’ve cut the pita ready to bake. Day of you whip out this masterpiece in 15 minutes. Well, on a larger scale of course.

Today, however, I give you falafel nachos for one. It’s probably the highlight of my day, next to the Serenade in the pool. I’m pretty sure photographing these on my front porch is going to make for some exciting neighborhood gossip. It’s all good in the hood, cause IDC. Falafel out.
