2 cucumbers |
1/2 lime (for rubbing) |
1 red pimiento chile (i use jalapeno red pepper) |
3 ounces cream cheese |

1 teaspoon basil |
1 tablespoon green onion, chopped |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
salt and pepper (to taste, i add more salt) |
1 pinch paprika |

1. Cut the cucumbers down the middle, lengthwise, peel and remove the seeds.
2. Rub the cucumbers with lime juice, and salt and pepper.
3. Cut the red pepper down the middle, remove the seeds, and dice into small pieces.
4. Combine the cream cheese and cream together with the remaining ingredients and mix well.
