This Middle Eastern style sandwich is my absolute favorite. The combination of fresh and healthy ingredients makes it a delicious and satisfying meal. The whole wheat pita bread is soft and chewy, while the hummus adds a creamy and nutty flavor. The bulgur wheat salad is loaded with fresh vegetables like parsley, tomatoes, and onion, making it crunchy and tangy. The hint of spicy banana peppers adds a nice kick of heat to the sandwich, making it a flavorful and exciting option compared to plain old sandwiches. This recipe is so easy and quick to make and stores well in the fridge for leftovers.

2.	Slice the bread open and spread the hummus onto one side.
3.	On the other side, spoon and spread the bulgur wheat salad.
4.	Add the sliced banana pepper as desired.
5.	Enjoy your delicious Middle Eastern style sandwich!
