Ingredients

- Hummus 1/4 cup
Method
-
Prepare the cucumber.
Start by washing the cucumber thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues. Then, using a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Place the slices on a clean plate.
Tip: Use a serrated knife or a vegetable peeler to get even slices without squishing the cucumber. -
Measure the hummus.
Using a measuring cup, scoop out 1/4 cup of hummus. You can use store-bought hummus or prepare your own at home. Place the hummus in a small bowl or directly on the serving plate next to the cucumber slices.
Tip: If you like, drizzle a little olive oil or sprinkle paprika on the hummus for extra flavor. -
Serve and enjoy.
Arrange the cucumber slices neatly around or beside the hummus. This makes it easy to scoop the hummus onto each slice. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and best texture.
Tip: This snack is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to a day.
Pro tips
- For extra crunch, chill the cucumber before slicing.
- Try adding fresh herbs like parsley or dill to the hummus for a flavor boost.
