Why Your Body Will Thank You
Cucumber provides natural hydration and a refreshing base, while cherry tomatoes bring a rich source of antioxidants that support overall wellbeing. Fresh basil and spinach add a gentle nutrient boost, contributing fibre and plant compounds that are a valuable part of a balanced diet. The drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together, adding healthy fats and a touch of richness.
Bring It to the Table
These stuffed cucumbers are made for sharing. Enjoy them as a light bite at home, pack them into your lunchbox, or prepare a plate for friends and family. You can even spread a little hummus on the cucumber first for extra creaminess and plant-based protein. Try them out, share your twist, and keep nourishing yourself with fresh, vibrant flavours.
