Lemon Lime Cucumber Boats

IMAG0992uprighthalfAnother appetizer made for our fancy party – these little cucumber bites are very refreshing and a little tart.  To me, they really taste like summertime – maybe it’s the dill, I don’t really know. 

All I know is that I like ‘em.

YOU WILL NEED:

  • 2 English (hothouse) cucumbers
  • 4 oz. feta cheese
  • 2 oz. goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1.5 tsp crushed dill
  • 1 tsp celery seed

YOU WILL NEED TO:

  1. Peel and cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise – use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.

  2. Mix together the cheeses, sour cream, juices, and spices – mash with a fork.

  3. Pile mixture into the cucumbers.
  4. Sprinkle some more dill and celery seed over the top.
  5. Splash some more lemon/lime juice over the top.
  6. Cut cucumbers into 1-1.5-inch slices.

  7. Set out to be devoured.  Makes about 25.

**It would probably actually be nice to leave the peel on – give it a little more color and crunch.  I just wasn’t sure how people coming to the party felt about their cucumber rinds.
