Time 15m

Yield 24 cucumber cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cucumbers
3/4 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt (or try low fat sour cream)
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives, divided
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 -4 dashes hot sauce (optional)
1/2 cup finely chopped pitted kalamata olive (or 2 ounce flaked smoked salmon -1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Trim off the ends of each cucumber. Using a vegetable peeler, remove 3 evenly spaced strips of peel from each.
  • To make the cucumber cups, cut each crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices and use a teaspoon to remove the seeds from the center of each without cutting through to the bottom.
  • Transfer to a platter; set aside.
  • In a food processor, puree cottage cheese, yogurt(or sour cream), 2 tablespoons chives, pepper and hot sauce.
  • Spoon mixture into cucumbers, top with a sprinkling of the smoked salmon or olives and garnish with remaining chives.
  • Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours before serving. (Filling can be made up to 1 day ahead). Enjoy!

These were so easy to make and they turned out so cute! I used a variety of different fillings, including a tuna salad, a chicken salad, and a guacamole. They were all delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of cucumbers, but I actually really enjoyed these. The filling is creamy and flavorful, and the cucumbers add a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making these again.
