Instructions

Creating these layered veggie and hummus cups is a simple process. Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your cups look and taste amazing:

Preparing the Ingredients

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Dice the cucumber, bell peppers, celery, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the radishes thinly. Shred or julienne the carrots.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This dressing will enhance the flavor of your vegetables.
  3. Toss the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumber, bell peppers, celery, red onion, and shredded carrots. Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat.

Assembling the Cups

  1. Layer the Hummus: In each individual serving cup, start by adding a generous layer of hummus at the bottom. Smooth it out with a spoon for an even layer.
  2. Add the Vegetables: Spoon the dressed vegetable mixture over the hummus layer in each cup, filling about three-quarters of the cup.
  3. Top with Tomatoes and Radishes: Add a layer of halved cherry tomatoes and sliced radishes on top of the mixed vegetables.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and a pinch of paprika over each cup. Add sprouts for an extra touch of freshness and texture.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cups for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
