• ¼ cup lightly packed sliced basil or mint leaves

• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 pita bread rounds
• 1 7oz. carton hummus

1. In a large bowl combine beans, tomatoes, feta, and basil.  In a sealable container such as a screw-top jar combine vinegar, oil, sugar, & ground black pepper.  Shake to combine.  Pour over salad mixture.
2. Grill pita bread rounds over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes or until warm and toasted, turning once halfway through grilling time.  Transfer to a cutting board and cut each round into 6 wedges.  Top wedges with hummus and serve with salad.
