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.

Okay, that is seriously spooky. I was *just* about to go look for a recipe for these (I bought a can of chickpeas a few weeks ago to make some) and up popped your blog in my google reader. Woo!

I love that you use canned chickpeas for this! When I saw the title I thought “mmm, tasty, but you probably have to do dried chickpeas and blah blah blah”. But you don’t! And it’s a perfect quick use for the extra cans I have in the pantry so that I don’t have to keep making hummus. 🙂

I’ve already put some of your Super Bowl recipes on my menu for Sunday, including the mini ham & cheese sandwiches. We live in Pittsburgh and are huge Steelers fans, so we’re REALLY EXCITED!!!

Hope your Superbowl menu turns out great. Although I have to admit, I’ll be rooting against your team!

Great snack. What if I am dried chickpeas not canned. Does it need to be soaked overnight?

Neev – I’m really not sure how to do this with dried chickpeas. I’ve only used canned. I would assume you would want to soak them overnight first.
