Cucumber Hummus Bites

Tuesday, May 24, 2011

Need a quick appetizer idea for a get together this coming holiday weekend? Look no further. These little guys are crispy, crunchy, and refreshing. Not to mention, good for you!

I made these for a snack one Saturday while Hubby and I were doing chores around the house. We goobled them right up. You can adapt this recipe for whatever flavors you like and whatever you have on hand. Easy peasy.

  Thanks – things are starting to get settled here. We are closing on a house in a few weeks, so we’ll be moving again soon. Hope all is going well for you back in Boston!

Is there a substitute for garam masala?

  Garam Masala has a unique flavor, but it is made from a combination of other spices so I’m sure you could find a substitute on the internet somewhere…
