Hummus heaped with tomatoes and cucumbers

This is more of an idea then a recipe - please take a look at the pictures and see what I mean.

Ingredients
4 large pitas, toasted, cut into wedges
2 cups prepared hummus (your favorite recipe or your favorite brand)
Olive oil
1 1/2 cups (8 ounces or 225 grams) cherry tomatoes, chopped small, plus more to taste
8 ounces (225 grams) small cucumbers, washed, unpeeled, chopped small
1/4 medium red onion, chopped small
Juice of half a lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sumac and/or za’atar (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, or a mix of parsley, mint, and chives, plus more for garnish

Method

The key thing is that you want to chop everything very small; it should be scoopable.

Spread hummus on a large plate with the back of a spoon, creating swirls and cavities. Drizzle it lightly with olive oil, just to freshen it up.

Mix tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, lemon, about 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, plus salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. If you have sumac, add about 1/4 teaspoon. Stir in herbs. Heap salad on hummus, arrange pita wedges all around. Finish with additional za’atar, sumac, and/or fresh herbs.
