Notes
Feel free to substitute store-bought roasted red pepper hummus if you’d like.
Make ahead: If you make this more than a few hours ahead, wait until close to serving time to add the toppings to the hummus. The natural water in the cucumber and from the roasted red peppers can make the hummus watery if it sits all day.
