Ingredients

6 medium cucumbers

1 (8-ounce) container red pepper hummus

1(8-ounce) container lemon hummus

Chopped chives for garnish

Directions

Create decorative stripes on the sides of the cucumbers using a vegetable peeler (for wide stripes) or a citrus zester (for thin stripes). I did a combo of the two, as shown above.

Cut the cucumbers crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick rounds. Using a teaspoon or melon baller, scoop out the seeds to form a well, about 1/3 inch deep, in each slice.

Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the red pepper hummus into the wells of half of the cucumber cups, mounding it slightly. (For a fancier look, use a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe in the filling.) Repeat the process with the lemon hummus and the remaining cups.

Sprinkle all with chopped chives.
