Today is Saturday. Thank the Lord! I had a busy week at work, designing new
dog clothes for small breeds. Then, My friend hurt her leg badly. Tore some ligaments and she is going to be down for a while. She is Vegetarian and she does ALL the cooking and cleaning as well as works. I am heading over to help her for a bit, because her husband is being over worked since he is not used to having to do all she does. I am making several mini dishes for them that they can just eat throughout the day. One of the things I am making is Cucumber cups. Simply and refreshing and very easy to make.
2 Cucumbers
1 8‐oz pkg. Cream Cheese, softened
1/3 Cup finely Chopped Onion
1 Tbsp. snipped fresh dill
1 Tbsp. Milk
1/8 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Pepper
1/3 cup chopped chives for topping
*optional smoked salmon (for the non vegetarian)
Combine cream cheese, onion, dill, milk, salt, and pepper.
Create decorative stripes on the sides of the cucumbers using a vegetable peeler (for wide stripes) or a citrus zester (for thin stripes).
Cut the cucumbers into 1 inch-thick rounds. Using a teaspoon or melon baller, scoop out the seeds to form a well, about 1/3 inch deep, in each slice.
use a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe in the fill 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat on and the remaining cups. (if using smoked salmon top cups with it).
Sprinkle all with chopped chives and serve.
