Ingredients:

Serving

3 cucumbers
3/4 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt (or try low fat sour cream)
3 tbsp finely chopped chives, divided
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 -4 dashes hot sauce (optional)
1/2 cup finely chopped pitted kalamata olive (or 2 oz flaked smoked salmon -1/2 cup)

Directions:

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!
