Easy Snack or Appetizer Anytime!

The two foods we consume the most in our home are hummus and cucumbers.  I would say both are eaten most every day, and often together.  My husband taught the kids to use cucumber slices like chips to scoop up their hummus and they love it!  This little snack-bite is simple, easy, tastes great and can be made to look festive for the Holidays!  We put this out while preparing dinner, which lets us snack, without filling up before enjoying our meal!

  • 1 container of hummus
  • 1 English cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup jarred roasted red peppers, cut into small strips
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or some cilantro
  • Place humus onto cucumber slices, top with a roasted red pepper strip and garnish with cilantro or thyme. Serve immediately.

    *Another version of this snack is to sprinkle the hummus with lemon pepper instead of the roasted red-pepper strip.

    *Use a vegetable peeler or zester/scorer to take off strips of the cucumber to make a decorative edge. Or pull the tines of a fork down the outside length of the cucumber without peeling to make a decorative edge.
