Put AwayThose Matches!
Put away those matches, these are not candles! Today I am sharing something different, pretty, and practically non caloric. Isn't that a change? In case you are having company this weekend this is a great and refreshing hors d'oeuvre: Creamy Cucumber Cups.
Creamy Cucumber Cups
Ingredients: Yield: 24 cups
3 cucumbers
3/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 dashes hot sauce
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives or chopped prosciutto
Fresh dill for garnish
Directions:
Peel each cucumber and cut evenly crosswise to 1 inch-thick slices. Using a spoon, remove seeds from center without cutting bottom. Transfer to a platter and set aside.
In a food processor, puree cottage cheese, yogurt, chives, pepper, and hot sauce. Spoon mixture into cucumbers, top with olives or prosciutto and garnish with fresh dill. Cover and chill for 1 hour before serving.
Enjoy
