Easy Cucumber Cups
(59)
  • Minutes to Prepare:
  • Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
1 English (seedless) cucumber, peeled1/2 cup peas*1 tablespoon horseradish mustard1/4 cup sour cream, reduced fat1/4 cup hummus1 sprig fresh dill, separated into 12 sections* I used no-salt added canned peas, but you could also use thawed frozen peas.
Directions
Cut the cucumber into 12 rounds (approximately 2 inches each). Scoop out the inner flesh being careful not to scoop out all the way through to the bottom. Place the slices on paper or cotton towels to drain.

Puree the peas, mustard, and sour cream using a blender or immersion blender, or mash with a fork until smooth.

Fill each cup with 2 teaspoons of hummus, then fill to the top with the pea mixture. Garnish with a dill sprig.

One filled cup per serving.

     Wonderful recipe - love it!
    And GERIHIRAI, learn to cook before casting judgement on the chef's posting of deceptive pictures - mine look just like hers! - 5/2/12

     skip the cream & horseradish and go straight for cucumbers and hummus! it's refreshing and delicious, especially in the summertime. - 3/15/11
  • SABLENESS
     Awesome idea! But I'd add the scooped out cucumber middle to the rest of the mix in the blender. - 8/6/12

     I usually hate when some just say they are going to try something instead of actually writing a review, but when you have Q's about a recipe, there is no other place to ask. Is that a tomato slice on top and is it only 26 calories if you eat all 12? What is the serving size? I'm thinking just 2. - 5/2/12

     I love cucs, peas, hummus...but this was lacking something. I think I'll stick with cucs dipped in hummus, no fuss and much easier. - 5/3/11

     I'll need to give this a try - sounds really fresh, but also, it would need to be made very shortly before eating, I think - though maybe I could make the cucumber cups the day before and keep them well chilled in the fridge? Just assemble shortly before needed? Anyone tried this? - 12/1/10

     Scoop out middle using a melon baller. I've had Sandra Lee's Lox & cream cheese stuffed cucumber - YUM! - 2/2/13

     I am so glad to see the community creating healthy, beautiful party bites. The picture makes me want to have a party, or at least make a tray of the "shot glass dippers" and cucumber bites to take to the Cancer Center for Thanksgiving. Won't that be a beautiful alternative to a pie? - 11/2/12

     Good as is, but not great. However, start mixing in fresh herbs and BINGO! Fun and easy to experiment with. Good stuffed with tuna salad and with a sprig of pimento on top too. It didn't mention it, but I used the scooped out cucs in the mix(es)! Made a variety for party! Looks like thyme in pic - 5/24/12

     these were very very good. i made them for a small bbq at my sisters and everyone loved them. they went fast.
    ps GERIHIRAI its not that chef megs pictures are deceptive. if you make them right they look exactly the same. its just that chef meg sets them up decoratively to make the pics look pretty - 5/21/12

     DELISH IDEA...I am making today substitution the hummus for blended lentils. - 3/15/11

     I love cukes. They are so refreshing and make my mouth water just thinking of trying this delightful recipe. Yum. - 12/20/10
  • BGRAEF
     I substituted creol mustard for the horseradish mustard, because I cannot eat it, and I really loved them. - 12/18/10

     this looks like a party on a plate . the bright colors and taste so good .low in labor and costs . - 8/30/12
  • BELASARIA
     I used zucchini instead since I can't eat cucumbers. The first time around, it was disappointing. The second time, I subbed the sour cream for Greek yogurt, added fresh dill and sun-dried tomatoes (not oil packed) and viola! Good to go. - 8/22/12
  • PICKLEDGINGER2
     Gonna try this one. - 3/15/11
  • PINKPARASOLLADY
     The pic has hummus on top-- which makes sense since the pea puree is runnier. The instructions, however, direct us toward green gloriousness. {EDIT: Close-up shows dollop of pea. I used frozen so my peas are very bright.} - 1/23/11
