Ali and I came up with these next two ideas when we were planning a tapas night with our family. Great way of bringing a salad to a finger food party!
Ingredients
3 large straight cucumbers, 8"
½ c feta cheese
12" EVOO
Balsamic Vinegar
½ c red onion, diced
Salt, pepper
½ c kalamata olives, diced
Directions
Take the cucumbers and slice them in half lengthwise. Then using a peeler, peel one length of bottom skin off 4 of the cucumbers so they don't roll and they lie flat. Then scoop as much cucumber flesh out as possible (without going through) so you make a cucumber canoe. Dice the remaining 2 cucumber halves. Combine diced cucumber, onion, kalamata olives and crubled feta in a bowl. Add EVOO, balsamic, salt and pepper. Mix, taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. Scoop the greek salad mixture into the canoes and pack in tightly. Slice the cucumbers in 1" sections, big enough nothing falls out but small enough to eat in one bite. Serve.
