Yummy, but quite messy. I only used half the dressing and hummus amounts, since it was so much. I also doubled the cucumber and used 2 huge leaves of romaine. These are all really great flavors together, you just can't go wrong. This is versatile enough that you could get away with making these in tortillas or on bread as well. I think this serves more like 2, but it probably depends on whether you are adding side dishes to it.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
