Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber, sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
- ¾ cup hummus (any flavor)
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of paprika or black pepper for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumber slices: Slice the cucumber into ¼-inch thick rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps keep the bites crisp and prevents sogginess.
- Arrange the cucumber: Lay the cucumber slices evenly on a serving platter, making them easily accessible for serving or snacking.
- Add hummus topping: Using a small spoon or a piping bag, place a dollop of hummus on top of each cucumber slice, adding flavor and creaminess.
- Sprinkle feta and herbs: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh dill or parsley over the hummus-topped cucumbers to enhance taste and visual appeal.
- Drizzle lemon juice and garnish: Lightly drizzle lemon juice over the bites and finish with a dash of paprika or black pepper for a subtle kick and color contrast.
- Serve or store: Serve the cucumber hummus bites immediately for best freshness, or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- These bites are highly customizable—try using roasted red pepper hummus or another flavored hummus variant.
