What’s In This Vegan Hummus Toast with Quick Pickled Cucumbers?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Bread: I used a homemade sourdough because that is what we always have on hand. I make a fresh loaf every week, which is great for toasts, garlic bread, or having a slice with soup.
- Hummus: store bought or homemade, whatever you have on hand!
- Vinegar and Sugar: for the marinade. I used red wine vinegar and a teaspoon of regular granulated sugar. But you can substitute a natural sweetener (like honey or maple syrup) if you prefer.
- Cucumbers: These work great with either large cucumbers or smaller Persian cucumbers. You can choose to peel them or keep the skin on – what ever you prefer!
How Do I Make This Hummus on Toast with Veggies Recipe?
- In a bowl, add the cucumber, red wine vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to sit and quickly marinate for 5 minutes.
- Toast the sourdough bread, and top each slice with about 2 tablespoons of hummus.
- Add a scoop of the marinated cucumbers to the top of each toast, garnishing with extra salt or pepper if desired.
- Serve as a quick breakfast or lunch, and enjoy!

Quick Chickpea Breakfast Recipes
This recipe calls for chickpeas aka garbanzo beans. I’d recommend using a no-salt-added variety to keep the overall sodium content down, so you can control how much sodium is in the dish. Canned chickpeas taste great, so if you are using canned chickpeas, just watch the sodium or added salt content.
I make dried beans in my Instant Pot every week, it’s a great way to save on cost. If you’re a bean fan, then I’d recommend an Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker as a way to take your recipes to the next level!

Great flavors
If I don’t have any cucumbers on hand would regular jarred pickles taste ok?
Hi Jane, you can certainly try! They may taste a little salty depending on the kind of pickles you have. Let me know if you try it out, and how the pickles work
Can you clarify what the 2tbsp of water is for? I’m assuming it’s the pickling juice? Making this now, it looks so good.
Hi Kirsty, sure! It’s to cover the vegetables so the vinegar mixture is over the top. Depending on what bowl you use for the vinegar you may not need to add the water. Let me know how the recipe goes!
A great way to eat healthy and enjoy
