This recipe is from Kraft Foods originally. It is nice way to use extra cucumbers. For adults this appetizer is one to have with a bunch of other stuff as a filler and needs to be seasoned with salt and pepper. If you have kids it is a great way to get kids to eat their veggies when you make sailboats. Make sure to seed the boats and omit salt and pepper. Use a toothpick as the pole of the sail if you'd like and thin pieces of carrot as sails. Fast and easy and can be made ahead. Enjoy! ChefDLH Ingredients:
1 carrot, shredded (about 1/2 cup divided ) |
1/2 cup chive & onion cream cheese (1/3 less fat) |
2 cucumbers, cut lengthwise in half, seeded |
salt and pepper |
peas (optional) |
Directions:
1. RESERVE 2 tablespoons carrots.
2. Mix remaining carrots with cream cheese;
3. spoon into cucumber shells.
4. Top with reserved carrots.
5. Cut each cucumber half into 5 pieces to serve.
6. For Kids- Let the kids make cucumber boats instead! Just fill the cucumber shells with the cream cheese mixture as directed. Then, add snow peas for the sails. Decorate with other cut-up fresh vegetables as desired to resemble colorful sailboats.
