Vegetarian Club With a North African Accent

"This was a basic veggie sandwich that I came across and tried. It was very bland and lack luster in it's original form. This is my revised version, it now has life, good taste and interest. One of these sandwiches will make lunch for DH and I."

WOW!! This is delicious!! The only problem was that between the 'salad' & the tomato, the pita got soggy & fell apart while eating. Pita #2, I blotted the tomato with paper towels & grained excess dressing from the salad. Eh, it was a bit better. But who cares? It is so delicious!! Adding ras el hanout to the hummus is brilliant. Oh, and it's healthy! After eating 2, i was so stuffed & happy that I took a nice nap. :) Made for NA/ME goes to Libya 10/12. (ps. the cashier rang my watercress up as parsley! nyuk nyuk - I didn't even notice until days later.)

I couldn't get ahold of watercress, so used parsley and put on whole grain toast. So good! I enjoyed all the flavors. Made up a small batch of ras el hanout. Thanks!
