Cucumber bites with hummus are the perfect choice for those times when you want a refreshing snack or appetizer. They’re quick to assemble and only have a few ingredients. I love the variety of textures and flavors in each bite!

Easy Snacks or Appetizers

I like to include these delicious little savory treats to the snack table at a party. They’re also good when the family is starving but dinner isn’t ready yet. Just hand each person their own plate of cucumber bites to keep their appetites at bay until dinner.

Ingredients

You only need a few ingredients to make this delicious savory treat. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Cucumbers
• Hummus (homemade or store-bought)
• Cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
• Chopped fresh dill

Instructions

Wash the cucumbers and tomatoes thoroughly. Then slice the cucumbers into 1/2 inch rounds. I make them this thick so the cucumber slices can hold the toppings without falling apart.

Slice the tomatoes in half in half. When I use cherry tomatoes, I cut them horizontally. However, this time I used grape tomatoes that are more oblong, so I cut them vertically. Now set them aside.

Next, spread about 1/2 tablespoon of hummus on each cucumber slice. The creamy texture of the hummus is a delicate balance to the crispness of the cucumber. 

Now top each hummus coated cucumber slice with 1/2 of a tomato. This adds a hint of juiciness to each bite.

Garnish each cucumber bite with the chopped fresh dill. Add as much or as little as you like. I like just a little for a subtle herbal flavor without overwhelming the rest of the bite. If you don’t care for dill, you can try other fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or cilantro.

Why I love This Recipe

First of all, it’s healthy and delicious. Cucumbers are hydrating as well as low in calories, while the hummus adds protein and healthy fats. The tomato provides vitamins.

Secondly, this recipe is quick and easy. I like the fact that there is no cooking required, and I can make a platter of them in just a few minutes.

They’re versatile. You can make them the way I do or even get creative with the toppings. In the past, I’ve added a sprinkle of feta cheese or a dash of paprika. You can also try different types of hummus.

They’re perfect for entertaining. Not only are they colorful, but they’re easy to eat. That makes them perfect for parties and potlucks.
