Method
-
Prepare the cucumber.
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Measure out 1 cup of these slices and place them on a serving plate.
Tip: For easier slicing, chill the cucumber beforehand and use a sharp knife to get clean cuts. -
Measure the hummus.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out 3 tablespoons of hummus and place it in a small bowl or directly on the serving plate next to the cucumber slices.
Tip: If you prefer, you can spread the hummus directly on the cucumber slices for easier eating. -
Add olive oil to meet fat target.
To reach the target fat content of 8 grams, drizzle 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil over the cucumber slices and hummus. This adds healthy fats and enhances flavor.
Tip: Use extra virgin olive oil for the best taste and nutritional benefits. -
Serve and enjoy.
Your cucumber and hummus snack is now ready to eat. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and crisp texture.
Tip: Pair with a sprinkle of paprika or fresh herbs like parsley for extra flavor.
