The sun is shining, it's hot, I want a snack, I don't want to cook. In my freezer I have chickpeas, in my fridge I have lemons, a cucumber, and tahini. Hummus comes to mind, why not add cucumber to a hummus? it would make it lighter and healthier. Yes, I'll give that a try with crackers. Goes well with a glass of chill white wine. The best thing about this recipe is, you just toss everything in a mini chopper or a food processor.

Start – pulse – ready to serve.

I use avocado oil, you can of, course use your favorite or none at all.

1/2 English cucumber - washed skin on.

1/2 teaspoon salt

Can be served with crackers, veggies or spread on bread. Notes 1) Cucumber hummus will keep in fridge for up to 5 days, in an airtight container.

2) If the hummus becomes too watery, add more chickpeas. If the hummus becomes too thick, add more cucumber or a bit of water.

3) This recipe is kid approved. Yet, if it tastes too dull for you add more garlic, salt, and pepper. Flakes of chili or cayenne pepper are also great in this dish. 7.8.1.2 69 https://allveganfoods.com/cucumber-hummus-chives/
