Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 100g hummus (any flavour)
- Cherry tomatoes, quartered
- Paprika for garnish
- Fresh dill (optional)

Instructions
-
Slice cucumber: Cut into 1cm thick rounds. If skin is thick, peel alternating strips for decoration.
-

-
Serve immediately: Best eaten fresh and crunchy.
Tips for success
- English cucumber: Fewer seeds and thinner skin than regular cucumbers.
- Pat dry: Blot cucumber slices to prevent hummus from sliding.
