Hummus is a staple in our house, and while we enjoy it with chips sometimes, veggies are our favorite, which makes these Cucumber Hummus Bites perfect! I was inspired to spice up one of our go-to snacks when I saw a mini hummus phyllo bite recipe. This is just a simpler version, and because you’re removing the phyllo, it’s all real food, as well as gluten-free.
We loved them, and these are very modifiable. You can change the veggie(s), spice(s), and herb(s) you use, so have fun with them. This appetizer and/or snack is easy and pretty, but it’s also quick and healthy! I’m certain our next batch of hummus will land on some cucumber slices, along with a few things to spice it up. Scrumptious!
