These veggie bites are an appetizing, eye-catching addition to any outdoor spread. Serve them as a side or prepare them as a quick make-and-take snack.
What you'll need
- 2 English cucumbers, about 12 inches long, ends trimmed
- 1 cup hummus
- Finely chopped scallions, for garnish
- Finely chopped red or orange bell pepper, for garnish
Make-Ahead Tip: The unfilled cucumber cups can be made the day before, arranged on damp paper towels, covered tightly, and refrigerated.
How to make it
Using a fork, score the sides of the cucumbers to create decorative stripes. Slice the cucumbers into 3/4-inch-thick rounds.
Using a teaspoon or melon baller, scoop a 1/3-inch-deep well in the center of each slice.
Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of hummus into each cucumber cup, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle the tops with the scallions and bell pepper. Makes 32 cups.
