Why You’ll Love These Bites

Cucumber hummus bites are naturally gluten-free, vegan, and low in calories, yet they offer bold flavor and satisfying texture. They take just minutes to assemble and can be customized with toppings to suit any occasion or taste.

Ingredients

  • 1 large English cucumber
  • 1 cup plain or flavored hummus (roasted red pepper, garlic, or classic)
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • Paprika or sumac, for garnish
  • Cherry tomatoes or sliced olives (optional toppings)

Instructions

1. Slice the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and cut it into ½-inch thick slices. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

2. Pipe or Spoon the Hummus
Place a small dollop (about 1–2 teaspoons) of hummus on each cucumber slice. You can use a spoon or pipe the hummus with a small ziplock bag for a more polished look.

3. Add Garnishes
Sprinkle with chopped parsley or dill and a pinch of paprika or sumac. For extra flair, top with a slice of olive or half a cherry tomato.

4. Serve Immediately
Arrange on a serving tray and enjoy right away, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use seedless English cucumbers for uniform, crisp rounds.
  • Pat cucumber slices dry to keep the hummus from slipping off.
  • Make them bite-sized and serve with toothpicks for easy handling at parties.

These cucumber hummus bites prove that healthy snacks can also be elegant and full of flavor. Whether served at brunch, a picnic, or as a light starter, they’re sure to be a refreshing hit with guests and family alike.
