If you are someone who has moderation issues (hi, nice to meet you, I do too!) don’t fret if you’ve popped about 5 in your mouth. Each little cucumber hummus concoction is very low in calories and fat, so you won’t derail your diet. Talk about a perfect party snack! If you aren’t a cucumber person, this hummus/almond/pom seed combo is just as good with pita, crackers or tortilla chips!
Blue Diamond Almonds are my favorite and I always keep them on hand for snacking, but they also are perfect for adding the finishing touches on whatever you happen to be serving from appetizers to desserts. I used lightly salted almonds for the hummus bites because my hummus of choice was cilantro jalapeno hummus and I wanted that particular flavor to shine through. If you’re using a classic hummus, consider choosing a unique flavored Blue Diamond Almond variety. The Sriracha or Wasabi and Soy Sauce flavors would be fab!
