Description

A colorful and healthy appetizer featuring fresh vegetables layered in cups with creamy hummus. Perfect for parties, meal prep, or a nutritious snack that’s both visually appealing and delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
  • 1 cup Cucumbers, sliced rounds
  • 1 cup Carrots, cut into sticks
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, whole
  • 1 cup Hummus
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh herbs

Instructions

  • Prep vegetables: Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Pat completely dry to prevent soggy cups
  • Cut vegetables: Slice bell peppers into strips, cucumbers into rounds, carrots into sticks. Keep cherry tomatoes whole
  • Layer in cups: Start with cucumber rounds at bottom, add carrot sticks, then bell pepper strips
  • Add hummus: Spoon hummus between layers or on top, filling gaps generously
  • Final touches: Top each cup with a cherry tomato and fresh herb garnish if desired
  • Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2 hours to maintain crispness

Notes

  • Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even layering and professional presentation in each cup
  • Pat vegetables completely dry after washing to prevent the hummus from becoming watery or sliding around
  • Use a piping bag or squeeze bottle for neater hummus application, especially when creating decorative patterns
  • Chill the assembled cups for 30 minutes before serving to help flavors meld and vegetables stay extra crisp
