For extra flavor and crunch, lightly **salt your cucumber slices** and let them sit for 5 minutes before layering them on the toast. This draws out excess moisture and enhances their crispness. Additionally, you can drizzle a touch of **lemon juice or olive oil** over the top to elevate the freshness and balance the creamy hummus.
