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.
