Instructions
- 1
Trim the ends from each cucumber and halve them lengthwise. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the seeds and a shallow channel of flesh, leaving a sturdy wall about 1/4 inch thick. Pat the insides dry with a paper towel and set the boats cut-side up on a serving platter.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, parsley, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and smoked paprika. Toss until evenly coated, then season with salt and pepper until the filling is bright and well-seasoned.
