Step 1
Drain and rinse the 1 can of chickpeas. Add them to a food processor with 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 2
Blend the mixture, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. If too thick, add water 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency.
Step 3
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Blend until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a swirl on top.
Step 5
Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over the hummus. Arrange the 1 cup of cucumber, tomato, and olives on top.
Step 6
Warm the 2 pita bread pieces in a toaster or oven for 2-3 minutes until soft and slightly toasted. Cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
Step 7
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
