Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers

1 cup of hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced into strips

1 medium carrot, julienned (cut into thin matchsticks)

1 small handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped

2 tablespoons of sesame seeds (optional but recommended)

1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Begin by washing the cucumbers thoroughly under cold running water. Peel them if desired, then use a vegetable peeler or a mandoline slicer to create long, thin ribbons of cucumber (aim for a thickness of about 1/8-inch). If you prefer spiral shapes, a spiralizer works beautifully!

    Flavor the Hummus: In a mixing bowl, take the hummus and blend in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to your liking to enhance the flavor of the filling. Mix until smooth and well combined.

      Assemble the Rolls: Lay a cucumber ribbon flat on a clean surface, ensuring it’s wide enough to hold your fillings. Spread a generous layer of the seasoned hummus evenly across the cucumber ribbon, leaving about an inch of space at one end to prevent spillage.

        Add the Fillings: On top of the hummus, arrange a few strips of red bell pepper, a small handful of julienned carrots, and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

          Roll It Up: Starting from the end with the fillings, gently roll the cucumber ribbon towards the bare edge. Apply slight pressure to secure the roll; the hummus will act as glue, keeping everything in place.

            Repeat the Process: Continue to roll up the remaining cucumber ribbons with the fillings until you have used all your ingredients. Each roll should be tight enough to hold together but not so tight that it bursts.

              Garnish and Serve: Arrange the finished roll-ups neatly on a serving platter. If you're using sesame seeds, sprinkle them on top for an additional crunch and delightful flavor. These can be enjoyed immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a refreshing treat.

                Enjoy your healthy and delicious Hummus Cucumber Roll-Ups as a vibrant party appetizer, a light lunch, or a nutritious snack that’s sure to impress your guests!
