- 1 cup rounds Cucumbers
- 1 cup sticks Carrots
- 1 cup whole Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Hummus
- Optional garnish Fresh herbs
Instructions
- Prep vegetables: Wash and thoroughly dry all vegetables. Pat completely dry to prevent water from diluting hummus

- Prepare tomatoes: Leave cherry tomatoes whole. Remove stems and ensure they’re completely dry
- Layer in cups: Start with cucumber rounds as base, add carrot sticks vertically, then bell pepper strips. Top with cherry tomato
- Add hummus: Fill generously with hummus between layers or create a base layer. Use about 2-3 tablespoons per cup
- Final touches: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving
Notes
- Choose vegetables with similar firmness levels to ensure even texture throughout the eating experience and prevent soggy components
- Use homemade hummus for superior flavor, or enhance store-bought versions with extra lemon juice, garlic, or olive oil drizzle
- Chill cups for 30 minutes before serving to enhance the refreshing quality and help flavors meld together beautifully
- Create color contrast by alternating light and dark vegetables in layers for maximum visual impact and Instagram-worthy presentation
