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!

I'm not a huge fan of cucumbers, but I really enjoyed these. The creamy chive filling was the perfect complement to the cucumbers.

These cucumber cups are a great way to use up leftover cream cheese. I had a container of cream cheese that was about to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

I made these cucumber cups ahead of time and they held up well in the refrigerator. They were just as delicious the next day.

These cucumber cups are so versatile. You can add any herbs or spices that you like to the filling. I've tried them with basil, thyme, and rosemary, and they've all been delicious.

I added a bit of lemon zest to the filling for a brighter flavor. It was a nice touch.

I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the filling. It was a healthier alternative and it still tasted great.

I'm not a big fan of dill, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cucumber cups were still delicious without it.
