"These are so easy and so delicious. Now, there is NOT much to this; everything is really 'store' bought. You just need a good peeler or mandolin to slice the cucumber. And, a 'seedless or English' cucumber really works best for this. Just a few ingredients ... and presto; a great appetizer. 'Gluten Free' too, low fat, and ... healthy. Besides, they just look pretty."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Hummus ... Obviously, you can make your own; but, I took advantage of a good store brand, to make this quick and easy.

Step 2

Cucumber ... First, cut a thin slice off of one side of the cucumber. Then, using a peeler (my choice), or a mandolin; cut long thin slices. Set them on a paper towel to dry.

Step 3

Filling ... Add the Feta cheese to a small bowl or dish; and, break it up using a fork. Then, add the hummus, and mix until combined. In a second bowl; add the roasted red peppers and tomatoes, and mix.

Step 4

Finish ... Simply season the cucumber with just a pinch of salt and pepper. Then, spread the hummus/Feta mix (a thin coat) on the cucumber; but, don't go all the way to end - this way, the filling won't "squish" out when it is rolled. Top with the sundried tomato/pepper mix; and, a very light drizzle of olive oil. Roll and secure with a toothpick. Done!

Step 5

Serve and ENJOY! ... Cover well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until good and chilled. Easy, delicious; and, a great appetizer any time of the year. Perfect for potlucks, parties, game nights, etc. Also, it's a plus being gluten free, low fat, and healthy too; but, you would never know it.
