Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large English cucumbers, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 1 cup (240 ml) hummus (classic, roasted red pepper, or garlic variety)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 gram) everything seasoning blend (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, sea salt)
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and slice the cucumbers into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside for 5 minutes to absorb excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix the hummus with fresh lemon juice and olive oil until smooth.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly on each cucumber slice.
- Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of everything seasoning on top of the hummus on each bite.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or dill.
- Serve immediately to keep cucumbers crisp, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving. Drain any excess moisture before serving.
Notes
Pat cucumber slices dry to prevent soggy bites. Spread hummus evenly and not too thick to avoid messiness. Assemble just before serving for best freshness. Optionally roast everything seasoning briefly to enhance flavor. Can substitute zucchini rounds for cucumbers or add spices like smoked paprika or chili flakes for variation.
