Cucumber and Hummus - A Fantastic Finger Food

Impressive. Convenient. Healthy. From an after school snack to a delicate appetizer for a schmancy party, these cucumber hummus bites could easily steal the show. These two bite delights are easily the most uncomplicated morsel of health. My kids have been known to roam the kitchen looking for ways to help me. Of course, they don’t mean setting the table or cleaning dishes. They want to do something that would require finger licking every once in a while.

Nibble. Enjoy. Repeat.

Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Check consistency and add bean liquid if it is too pasty.
