- Cut twenty-eight 1/4-inch-thick round slices from cucumber (reserve remaining cucumber for another use). Arrange cucumber slices on platter. Top each slice with crab mixture.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest ingredients. Use fresh, firm cucumbers and crab meat for the best results. Fresh herbs, like dill and chives, will also add a lot of flavor to the dish.
- Make sure the crab meat is cooked properly. If you're using fresh crab meat, cook it until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. If you're using canned crab meat, drain it well and flake it with a fork before using.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the cucumber slices before serving. This will help them to stay crisp and refreshing.
- Garnish the crab cucumber slices with fresh herbs or lemon wedges before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
