Hi.

Welcome! I'm a new Pittsburgher and mom who is untrained in both life and cooking, but that just makes them both more exciting!

Cucumber Hummus Cups

Cucumber Hummus Cups

This is one of those "recipes" that makes my dad call me and say, "You call that a recipe?  You're just putting stuff together!"  So this, my friends, is an assembly.  Which is just perfect because who wants to sit in a kitchen all summer anyway?  You can throw this snack together in 5 minutes and enjoy it out on a picnic blanket while your kids brush up on their volleyball skills (hey, it's never too early to start!).

Cucumber Hummus Cups Printer-friendly version

1 large English cucumber 8 ounces hummus (just make a batch and eat the leftovers another time) shredded carrots for garnish

Slice the cucumber into 1 inch thick pieces.  Scoop out the middle to make a little cup.  Fill it with hummus.  Top with shredded carrots.  Enjoy! 

Source: I'm pretty sure I saw it on a TV cooking show, but I can't remember which one because it isn't like I had to write the recipe/assembly down.  You can find a variety of variations by doing a Google search.
