Ingredients
- Cucumber 1 cup
- Hummus 1/4 cup
Method
-
Wash the cucumber.
Rinse the cucumber thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Tip: Use a vegetable brush if needed to clean the skin well. -
Slice the cucumber.
Place the cucumber on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the cucumber into thin, even slices about 1/8 inch thick. Try to make the slices uniform for a nicer presentation and easier dipping.
Tip: If you prefer, peel the cucumber before slicing, but the skin adds extra nutrients and crunch. -
Prepare the hummus serving.
Measure out 1/4 cup of hummus and place it in a small serving bowl or plate. This will be used as a dip for the cucumber slices.
Tip: If you want, drizzle a little olive oil or sprinkle paprika on top of the hummus for extra flavor. -
Arrange and serve.
Arrange the cucumber slices neatly around the bowl or plate of hummus. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh crunch and creamy dip together.
Tip: You can garnish with a few fresh parsley leaves or a sprinkle of black pepper for a nice touch.
Pro tips
- Use fresh, firm cucumbers for the best texture.
- For easier slicing, chill the cucumber beforehand.
