Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber
- ½ cup cream cheese or feta or hummus
- ½ avocado sliced
- 8 Kalamata olives pitted and halved
- everything but the bagel seasoning optional
- salt
Instructions
- Cut the cucumber in half and scoop out the seeds.
- Fill the cucumber halves with cream cheese.
- Top with avocado slices, olives, and everything but the bagel seasoning, if using. Season with salt. Enjoy!
Notes
- Waste Nothing: You can save the hollowed out cucumber seeds to use in a smoothie or yogurt dip.
- So Many Seeds: I love the garlicy-oniony-seedy flavor and texture of an 'everything but the bagel' seasoning, but there are so many other ways to top these cucumber boats. Try a sprinkle of black or white sesame seeds, omega-rich hemp seeds, or even crushed pistachios.
- Put it on a Pepper: Instead of hollowed cucumber boats, try this recipe with mini sweet peppers. Halve them lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes, then proceed with the original recipe.
