Ingredients 

  • Sliced cucumber
  • Avocado
  • Baked chickpeas
  • Spicy mayo

These cucumber bites are a nice vegetarian option that’s fresh and easy to make. After mashing the avocado, spread a dollop on top of each cucumber before adding the toppings. Homemade chickpeas are ideal, but you can also opt for the packaged options. These often have more crunch and come in an array of tasty flavors, giving your appetizer a bit more zest.
