Notes

  • Sabra’s roasted red pepper and roasted garlic hummus flavors work well for these cucumber boats, but feel free to use any favorite hummus variety.
  • For a taco-inspired variation, use spicy or taco-flavored hummus topped with grated cheese, lettuce, and tomato, served with tortilla chips.
  • Dice the cucumber ends finely and save for salads or snacking to minimize waste.
  • Nutrition estimates are approximate; adjust ingredients for dietary needs as desired.
