Stuffed Cucumber Cups

My two year old loves snacking on cucumber slices,and when I found this recipe in the Family Fun Magazine,I had to try it.This would make a fun eye-catching side or a healthy after school snack.

Ingredients :

• 1 English Cucumber ( about 12 inches long,ends trimmed)
• 1/2 Cup Hummus
• Finely chopped red bell pepper or tomato for garnish

Method :

1. Using a fork,score the sides of the cucumbers to create the decorative stripes (for my two year old,I peeled skin from the cucumber).
2. Slice the cucumber into 1/2 or 3/4 inch thick rounds.
3. Using a teaspoon or melon baller,scoop the centre of each slice.
4. Spoon 1/4 to 1/2 tablespoon of hummus into each cucumber cup.
5. Garnish each cucumber cup with chopped red bell pepper or tomato.
