Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 small Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Hummus
- 12 pieces Round crackers
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice each cherry tomato in half to create red circles. Set aside.
Cut the yellow bell pepper into small square or circular pieces about the size of the crackers. Set aside.
Peel the cucumber (if preferred) and slice it into thin rounds. Set aside.
Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of hummus on each round cracker, making a smooth layer.
Top each cracker with one piece of cucumber, one piece of yellow bell pepper, and a cherry tomato half to resemble a traffic light, aligning them vertically: red (tomato) at the top, yellow (bell pepper) in the middle, and green (cucumber) at the bottom.
Arrange the assembled crackers on a serving platter and serve immediately.
