Sharp knife
Cutting board
Small spoon or butter knife (to spread the hummus)
Serving platter or plate
Paper towels (optional, for blotting cucumber slices)
- 1 cucumber
- ½ cup hummus
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup feta cheese
- Fresh Parsley to Taste
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Wash and dry your cucumber. Slice it into ¼-inch rounds. Try to make the slices as even as possible so they stack and serve nicely.
Use a small spoon or butter knife to gently spread a dollop of hummus onto each cucumber round. Don’t be shy with it—this is the creamy layer that holds everything together.
Cut your cherry tomatoes in half and place one half, cut side down, on top of the hummus layer. If your tomatoes are very juicy, you can pat them dry with a paper towel first to avoid making the bites soggy.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the tomato-topped bites. The feta adds a salty, tangy contrast that really ties the bite together.
Chop up some fresh parsley and sprinkle on top. Season lightly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
These are best served right away while the cucumber is crisp and cool.
