Instructions
- 1
Trim the ends off both cucumbers and cut each into rounds about 3/4 inch thick — you should get 18–20 rounds total. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop a shallow well into the center of each round, leaving a 1/4-inch base intact so the cup holds its filling.

Stand the cucumber cups cut-side up on a cutting board or serving platter. Pat the scooped surfaces dry with a paper towel so the filling stays in place.
