Paleo Cucumber and Hummus Bites
Paleo Cucumber and Hummus Bites are a quick, refreshing snack that pairs crisp cucumber rounds with a creamy, protein-rich hummus topping.
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 1/2 cup paleo-friendly hummus chickpea-free; made with zucchini or cauliflower
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp tahini
- Pinch sea salt
- Dash black pepper
- Fresh parsley or paprika optional garnish
Instructions
- Slice cucumber into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Try to make them look like you didn’t just eyeball it.
- If making hummus, blend zucchini (or cauliflower), tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to dollop or swirl hummus onto each cucumber round.
- Garnish with parsley, paprika, or anything Instagram-worthy.
- Serve immediately or chill for up to two hours. Just don’t forget them in the fridge like last week’s leftovers.
