How to Make Cucumber Cups

Wash and peel 2 medium cucumbers. Slice them lengthwise into 1-inch thick pieces.
Using a melon baller or small spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds from the center of each cucumber slice, creating a small cup. Leave the bottom intact for stability.
Prepare 1/2 cup of your favorite hummus. If desired, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of olive oil to enhance the flavor.
Fill each cucumber cup generously with the hummus using a piping bag, small spoon, or ziplock bag with a corner snipped off.
Sprinkle each cup with a pinch of paprika and 1 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh parsley.
