A "cool" way to enjoy your favourite hummus! Healthy, nutritious and refreshing cucumber houses a blast of protein. What a great appetizer for a summer get together!
Ingredients
2 English Cucumbers, cut into 1 1/2" thick rounds
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups of your favorite hummus
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
Finely minced parsley, for garnish
Directions
Use a melon baller or round measuring spoon, scoop out the center of each cucumber to form a hollow. Season with kosher salt, and then fill each cucumber with a teaspoon or two of hummus.
Garnish with pine nuts and parsley, and an additional sprinkle of salt.
Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
For advance preparation, peel, cut and scoop the cucumber cups, but do not season. Store up 12 hours in an air-tight plastic bag or container then fill just before serving.
