Cool cucumber rounds topped with creamy hummus, smoky paprika, and fresh parsley make a light, refreshing appetizer or snack that comes together with no cooking.
Ingredients
produce
- 1cucumber
- 1 tbspparsley
pantry
- 120 ghummus
- 0.5 tsppaprika
- 1 tspolive oil
Steps
- Rinse the cucumber and pat it dry with a clean towel.
- Trim off both ends of the cucumber.
- Slice the cucumber crosswise into rounds about 1 cm thick using a sharp knife.
- Rinse the parsley and finely chop the leaves.
- Arrange the cucumber rounds in a single layer on a serving plate.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of hummus onto the center of each round, or pipe it on for a neater finish.
- Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the tops of the hummus.
- Dust each round with a pinch of paprika and scatter the chopped parsley over the bites.
- Serve immediately for the crispest bite.
Tips
- Slice the cucumber slightly thick (about 1 cm) so each round can hold a generous dollop of hummus without breaking.
- Pat the cucumber slices dry before topping so the hummus doesn't slide off.
- Assemble no more than 30 minutes before serving so the cucumber stays crisp.
- Try a sprinkle of za'atar or a few pomegranate seeds for extra color and flavor.
