Cucumber Shooters

You know that saying ~  "Cool as a cucumber" ?
Well, it's been so blasted HOT here for the past couple of days, these are about all I felt like eating for dinner.


I'm sure you can see how easy they are to make ~
Peel (if desired) an English/Hot house cucumber; try to select a straight one, and one that is of even circumference if possible. Cut cross-way into 1-1/2 to 2-inch sections. Use a melon ball tool to scoop out a cavity, creating a cup to hold the filling.


You can fill them with anything you like: 
Pico de Gallo ~ Salsa Cruda Gazpacho (spiked, or not) Chicken, Shrimp or Tuna Salad Your favorite dip, or spread, etc.

Happy Independence Day to all who celebrate!
