Start by preparing your vegetables: slice the cucumber into thin rounds, dice the tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber slices, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and oregano to the vegetable mixture. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly in the dressing.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley into the vegetable mixture.
To warm the gluten-free pita breads, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until they are warm but not crispy.
Spread a generous layer of hummus on each warmed pita bread.
Layer the vegetable mixture on top of the hummus, dividing it evenly among the four pita breads.
Fold each pita in half, creating a sandwich. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
