Deliciousness! These very-easy-to-prepare-and-even-easier-to-eat-rollups would make great hors d'oeuvres for your next party, brunch, or whatever. There's also a lot here that's customizable. You can make your own hummus, if you're so inclined, or buy any of the many varieties you can find at the market. You can garnish with the sundried tomato sauce, or add your own dash of flavor on the top. If you've got a mandolin and a food processor (or high speed blender), you're pretty much all set. Here are the recipes you'll need: (originally posted at The Detoxinista- and with many more pretty pics!)
INGREDIENTS:
1 large cucumber
Hummus
Sun Dried Tomato Sauce (recipe below)
Directions:
To create your cucumber rolls, you’ll need a mandolin or a wide vegetable peeler. Slice the cucumber lengthwise, into very thin slices. Because they are so thin, you’ll want to double-up the slices for each roll. Apply a thin layer of of hummus lengthwise down each slice. Then roll up, and top each roll with a dollop of tomato sauce!
Sun Dried Tomato Sauce
makes about 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients:
3 oz. sun dried tomatoes
2 roasted red peppers
1/2 cup water
2 cloves raw garlic
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Directions:
In a high-speed blender, blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
I threw in more garlic and less bell pepper, so again, very customizable. Enjoy!
