Mediterranean Cucumber Roll Ups

Mediterranean cucumber roll ups are a quick, easy, healthy appetizer or light lunch.  I think they will make a great little side dish for our next Church Soup Lunch.  This recipe came from Pinterest.

Ingredients:
  • 1 large cucumber
  • ⅛ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 6 tbsp. roasted garlic hummus
  • 6 tbsp. roasted red pepper, chopped
  • 6 tbsp. crumbled feta
  • (sun-dried tomatoes would be good too)

Directions:
  • Use a vegetable peeler to shave off long, thin slices of cucumber. 
  • (You should get around 12 useable slices off of one cucumber.)
  • (Don't use the inner slices of cucumber that are full of seeds.)
  • Sprinkle each slice of cucumber with a pinch of black pepper. 
  • Evenly spread about 1½ tsp. of hummus on each cucumber slice. 
  • Sprinkle 1½ tsp. of chopped red pepper and 1½ tsp. of crumbled feta on each slice.
  • Pick up one end of the cucumber slice and roll the cucumber around the filling. 
  • End with the seam on bottom and secure with a toothpick. 
  • (Don't try to roll them up too tight or the filling will squeeze out.)
