TIPS

 

  • Choose firm cucumbers: Opt for fresh, crisp cucumbers to prevent sogginess.
  • Use a piping bag: For a more elegant presentation, pipe hummus onto the cucumber slices instead of spooning it.
  • Spice it up: Add a sprinkle of chilli flakes or cumin for extra flavour.
  • Make it extra crunchy: Top with roasted sesame seeds or crushed pistachios for a crunchy contrast.
  • Keep them cold: Store in the fridge until serving to maintain their crispness.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Greek style: Add crumbled feta and chopped kalamata olives for a Mediterranean twist.
  • Protein boost: Sprinkle hemp seeds or chopped nuts on top.
  • Tangy twist: Drizzle with lemon juice or balsamic glaze.
  • Tomato topping: Garnish each bite with a halved cherry tomato.
  • Zesty kick: Use spicy hummus instead of plain hummus for a bolder flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours for optimal freshness.
  • Avoid freezing: Cucumbers become watery when thawed, so freezing is not recommended.
  • Meal prep tip: Store cucumber slices separately and add hummus just before serving to keep them fresh.
