These fresh cucumber hummus bites topped with sun-dried tomatoes are a quick, easy, and refreshing snack perfect for gatherings or a light pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 English cucumbers, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1/2 cup (120g) hummus
  • 1/2 cup (about 50g) sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, plus extra for seasoning
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice into 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick rounds, aiming for uniform size.
  2. If using dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
  3. Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and toss with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, stir the hummus with a teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt to brighten the flavor.
  5. Spread about 1 teaspoon of hummus evenly over each cucumber slice.
  6. Top each slice with a small spoonful of the sun-dried tomato mixture.
  7. Optionally, garnish with finely chopped parsley or basil.
  8. Serve immediately for best crispness. If prepping ahead, keep cucumber slices and tomato topping separate and assemble just before serving.

Notes

Use English cucumbers for less watery, seedless slices. Pat sun-dried tomatoes dry to avoid sogginess. Spread hummus thinly to maintain cucumber crunch. Assemble close to serving time to keep bites crisp. Variations include adding harissa for spice or feta cheese for creaminess.
